1.5 During a Conversation
PT • During a 5-party conference, you cannot use this feature.

can put only one call on hold. One way around this is to use the Call Park feature. See two
pages ahead.
PT • If a call is placed on hold for more than the programmed time, ringing or an alarm tone will
be heard (Hold Alarm/Hold Recall) and the LCD will flash the following display.
Example:
— When holding extension 211, Mr. Brown: "211: Brown" will flash.
— When holding exchange line, CO 1: "Call on CO 1" will flash.
SLT • If "Hold-2" or "Hold-3" is assigned by System Programming, you must dial "50" after
pressing the Recall button.
SLT • Only an outside or intercom call can be placed on hold at any one time. If you want to hold
both calls, use the Call Park feature.
