Hold - Siemens Optiset E Standard Quick Reference Manual

Hold

The Hold feature lets you place an active external call on hold
without disconnecting the caller.
For this feature, you must set up one of your programmable
feature keys as a Hold key (refer to "To program a feature key"
on page 14).
To put a call on hold
After receiving or placing an external telephone call, press the
Hold key to place the caller on hold.
To reconnect to a held call
After placing a call on Hold, you can return to the caller without
replacing the handset by scrolling to and selecting Return to
held call? or by pressing the flashing line key associated with
the call.
Notes: If you do not retrieve the call after a certain time
(determined by the communications server), the call will return
to your telephone with triple rings. If you do not answer, the call
may be transferred to the operator, if so configured on the
communications server.
To place a caller on hold, the call must be associated with an
outside call.
Refer to "Feature Access Codes" on page 39 for information on
accessing features through special access codes.
