shares the held call line.
To place a call on hold,
1. PRESS HOLD. HOLD button light begins to blink.

Exclusive Hold
With an exclusive hold condition, you must pick up the held call at your telephone;
no other telephone has access to it.

1. PRESS HOLD twice.

Handling Hold Recalls
After a call has been on hold for a period of time (set by the installer of your system),
the system causes four quick hold recall tone bursts to sound at your telephone, the
flash rate of the line button becomes faster and the light becomes orange. If the call
is on exclusive hold, it reverts to manual hold after the hold recall period.
If a held line is recalling, choose one of the following:
1. PRESS HOLD (station button) to place the call on hold at your
station and restart hold timer.
