Hold - AT&T SYSTEM 25 User Manual

Hold

You can hold calls while you attend to other matters and then
pick them back up. After you put a call on hold, you may hang
up the handset without losing the call. Keep in mind that when
you put a call on hold the system is signaled that you are
available to receive another call; if there are any calls waiting in
the queue, the system will send the first one to you as soon as
you put your current call on hold.
If you do not return to your held
interval, there will be a visible change in the wink rate and, if
administered, an audible tone. After a second timed reminder is
sent,
the system will either continue to send reminders or cause
the call to start ringing again as an incoming call at the (LOOP)
button where it is held. This option is controlled by your
System Administrator.
