Floating Hold (Retrieve Only)

Floating Hold allows calls to be placed in a hold orbit (position) for retrieval elsewhere in the system.
Floating Hold is most commonly used by the attendant group when they are unable to locate the
desired party. If the desired party does not answer his/her phone, the attendant places the caller on
Floating Hold and asks over the paging system that the desired party dial *9XXX to retrieve the held
call.
Note: Single Line Telephone (SLT) positions are not able to place a call on Floating Hold. However,
an SLT can retrieve a call on floating.
To retrieve a call from Floating Hold:
1. Lift the handset.
2. Enter *9 followed by the Floating Hold Orbit number (001-
576 (CPC 288/576), 01-96 (CPC-96) or 001-099 (CPC288/
576) or 01-09 (CPC-96)) (See considerations below.)
