Parking a call
The Park facility allows calls to be put on hold in a system area so that the call can be picked up from
another extension on the system. The PCS 580 provides four Park buttons to access Park slots 1, 2, 3 and 4
by default. If a call is parked via one of these Park buttons all users of a PCS 580, PCS 570, PCS 560 and
PCS 60 with access to these Park slots will see the call parked and can retrieve the call if required.

further assistance.
Notes
Notes can be entered while a call is progress which can help with the proficient handling of the call. For
example, a note could contain the caller's name, company and the details of his enquiry. If you are
