Holding a Call
There may be occasions when you need to temporarily interrupt your current call
and keep the other party on hold (for example, to get more information or to
answer an important incoming second call). The types of hold function available
are:
System hold
Puts the current call on hold. Other phone users can take it
off hold.
Exclusive hold
Puts the current call on hold. Other phone users cannot take
it off hold.
Automatic hold
Puts the current call on hold and automatically connects you
to the new incoming call. Automatic hold is a feature that
must be programmed for your phone.
Consultation hold Puts the current call on hold and allows you to consult with
another phone user.
