Note:
If you don’t retrieve the call after 15 minutes, the call is automatically dropped.
Two things can happen if you don’t hang up the handset after you have put the call on hold:
When the call you have put on hold is picked up at another extension, the call remains
connected to your telephone and is taken off hold. This means any background noise
from your area will be heard by the caller and the other extension.
If an incoming call is placed on hold and no one at another extension picks up the
handset, the telephone will drop the held call after 15 minutes and re-establish dial tone.
