The result of the holding operation can be determined through system programming. Pressing the HOLD
button again just after the first time alternates the mode between General and Exclusive Call Hold.

• Hold Recall
If a call on hold is not retrieved within a preprogrammed time period (
→
Hold Recall Time [200]), the
Hold Recall tone is heard at the extension which put the call on hold. If the extension is engaged in a
call, the Hold Alarm will be heard.
• If an outside party is placed on hold and the call is not retrieved within a preprogrammed time period
after the Hold Recall time expires, the call is automatically disconnected.
• Automatic Call Hold
A PT can be configured through system programming to place the current call on hold when the PT
user presses a CO, G-DN, or INTERCOM button to make or answer another call. If this feature is not
enabled, the current call will be disconnected.
[Example of Automatic Call Hold]
It is possible to receive an incoming CO line call by pressing the flashing G-DN button. The current
intercom call (on the INTERCOM button) is placed on hold. To return to the held call, press the
INTERCOM button.
• Call Hold Retrieve Deny

held calls either.

It is possible to choose how to hold and transfer a call with an SLT through system programming. The
following methods are available:
