Hold

<Call Hold>
Allows an extension user to place an intercom and/or outside call. The held call can be
retrieved by the user who held it, or by any other extension (Call Hold Retrieve).
With a single line telephone (SLT), either one outside or intercom call can be held at one
time. If an SLT user want to hold both calls, use the Call Park feature. An SLT user can
select how to operate the Call Hold feature by program [104].
<Exclusive Hold>
Allows an proprietary telephone user to prevent other extension users from retrieving their
held call. Only the user who held the call can retrieve it. This feature is not available for an
SLT.
• Only one intercom call can be placed on hold. For a proprietary telephone, outside calls

and one intercom call can be placed on hold at the same time.

user who held it will hear a ring tone or an alarm tone. If the user is on-hook and their
SP-PHONE/MONITOR button indicator is off, the phone will ring (Hold Recall). If the
user is off-hook or in the handsfree mode, an alarm tone will be sent to the built-in
speaker of a proprietary telephone or the handset receiver of a single line telephone at
15-second interval (Hold Alarm).
If "Disable" is selected in program [200], nothing will be heard.
• If a held outside call is not answered within thirty minutes, it will be automatically
disconnected.
