Chapter 6. DSLT Features
Floating Hold is useful when the intended recipient of a call must be located via a page. The call can
be placed in a Floating Hold "orbit" and that orbit number announced during the page. The paged
party can then pick up the call by dialing the orbit number.
Operation
To place a call on Floating Hold:
1. Press the HOLD key.
To retrieve a call from Floating Hold:
1. Enter the Floating Hold Pickup feature access code (default
= *9).
2. Enter the Floating Hold orbit number (001-576 (CPC-288/
576), 01-96 (CPC-96) or 001-099 (CPC-288/576) or 01-09
(CPC-96) (See considerations below.)
