Putting a Call on Hold

The Hold key lets you hang up a line without disconnecting the other
party. If you do not retrieve the call after a certain period of time
(determined by the communications server), your telephone rings. If it
is an external call and you do not answer, the call is transferred to the
operator.
If you want to make another call after placing a call on hold, you must
use another line. If your telephone has only one line, use the
consultation feature to place another call. (See "Consultation" on page
3-12.)
Note: On Version 6.3 and higher, you can put conference calls and
consultation calls on hold.
