Holding Calls
While a call is connected, the user can place the call on hold using one of the following methods:
•
Pressing the Hold soft key; this holds only the highlighted call on the screen
•
Pressing the feature key that has been assigned the Hold function; this holds all calls that are in a holdable
state
Resuming Calls
While a call is holding, the user may resume the call using one of the following methods:
•
Pressing the “Resume” soft key; this resumes only the highlighted call on the screen
•
Pressing the call key that hosts the call to resume; this resumes the call only if it is in the Holding State as
indicated by the key's LED blinking pattern (slowly in red)
Note that unlike Hold, there is no Resume function that can be assigned to a feature key. Instead a "conference"
function is available for resuming calls to join a conversation, which is discussed when we describe the multi-‐party
conference call feature.
Bringing a Call to the Foreground
Operations that bring a call to the foreground include:
•
Resuming a call using the Resume soft key
•
Answering a call
•
Making a new call by on-‐hook dialing, dialing from speed dial, phonebook, call history, etc.
•
Invoking dial tone by off-‐hooking, pressing a call key or a line monitoring feature key
Right before carrying out a foregrounding operation, the phone automatically applies the following routine
operation on all other calls in the system based on their respective call states at that moment:
•
Calls in Connected State: hold them
•
Calls in Ringing or Holding State: leave them alone
•
Calls in other states: end them
