CALL PARK AND RETRIEVAL
Parking a call is very similar to putting a call on hold. The key difference is, when placing a call on hold it can only be retrieved from the phone that put the call on hold. With Call Park, a call
can be placed on hold and picked up from ANY phone within the same business group. <Note that Call Park is an optional feature and must be requested for activation through a Nextera
Account Manager.>

To retrieve a parked call: Dial *99* and the Orbit code that was provided when the call was parked (example: *99*111). The call will immediately be connected.
REJECT
When a call comes in that you do not wish to answer and do not want it to keep ringing your phone, press Reject. This will send the call immediately to
voicemail.
