Exclusive hold

To place a call on exclusive hold
To place a call on exclusive hold on an ESI Feature Phone, press HOLD for at least one second.
The display will briefly appear as follows . . .

. . . and then return to its normal state. This exclusive hold will cause the HOLD key to light solid red on
just that Feature Phone (i.e., where the key was pressed) and none other in the system.
To retrieve a call from exclusive hold
To reconnect to a call from the ESI Feature Phone where the call was placed on exclusive hold, you
may do any of the following:
(a.) From a phone idle state, press HOLD for at least one full second.
(b.) Press the blinking programmable feature key (see pp. C.2–C.3) that you know is pre-programmed
for that outside (or "virtual") line or station. This will reconnect you immediately to the call.
(c.) Press HOLD briefly and dial the appropriate line number. Only the ESI Feature Phone where the
call was placed on exclusive hold will display an "E" next to the line (identified by number) on
which the call is holding. (That line number won't appear on the hold display on any other ESI
Feature Phone, because no other Feature Phone can retrieve that call.) In the example below, the
Feature Phone has a call on exclusive hold on line 12.
