. The telephone display shows that
the call is on hold on line x and that line indicator light
flashes.
3
Return the handset to the handset cradle (i.e., hang
up the handset).
You won’t lose the call if you hang up the handset.
Note:
The 9617 automatically takes a held call off hold
when a person on an extension telephone answers it. If
you don’t hang up the handset after you have put a call
on hold and that call is picked up by someone at another
extension, the call is taken off hold but remains
connected to your telephone. If this happens, any
background noise from your area will be heard by the
caller and the person at the other extension.
