The Hold key lets you temporarily hang up a line
without disconnecting the other party. If you do not
retrieve the call after a certain period of time (deter-
mined by the CBX), your telephone rings. If it is an
external call and you do not answer, the call is trans-
ferred to the operator.
If you want to make another call after placing a call on
hold, you must use another line. If your telephone has
only one line, use the consultation feature to place an-
other call. (See "Consultation" on page 3–11.)
Press the HOLD key.
If you were using the handset, you can hang up.
The status light beside the line key flashes to
remind you that the call is on hold, and the CBX
will call you back after a certain period of time.
You can put only one call on hold per line.
Press the line key next to the flashing status
light, or pick up the handset and press the line
key.
Press the PICKUP key, or get a dial tone and
dial * 3.
Dial the number of the extension at which the
call was placed on hold.
