6.8 Selecting Exclusive Hold Time
When using the feature button and the hold button together, extension users may place an outside call on private/
exclusive hold. The system indicates that the line is in use to other extensions.
You can control how long the system allows that line to remain on exclusive hold. After the time period you
specify elapses, the system converts the call to system hold.
Other features whose programming may be affected by setting exclusive hold include the following.
• Hold Remind
• Hold - System
• Hold - Common (System)
The following conditions apply to setting exclusive hold.
• Exclusive hold is used only for CO line calls.
• You specify how long you want the system to allow exclusive holds, from 1-8 minutes.
• When extension users place a CO line call on exclusive hold, the system fast flashes the green lamp for that
line and lights the red lamp steadily for that CO line at other extensions.
