Floating Hold
Floating Hold is a type of System Hold that allows you to retrieve a held call from any extension that
has an FF key assigned to the same Floating Hold orbit where the call is held. You can also retrieve a
call by dialing the Floating Hold orbit number for the held call.
Floating Hold is useful when the intended recipient of a call must be located via a page. The call can
be placed in a Floating Hold "orbit" and that orbit number announced during the page. The paged
party can then pick up the call by dialing the orbit number or by pressing an FF key assigned to that
orbit number.
Note: To place a call on Floating Hold, you should have at least one FF key assigned to a Floating
Hold orbit number (001-576).
