Basic Call Handling
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905G and 7912G for Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 (SCCP) 25
Using the Hold Button
Only one call can be active at any given time; all other connected calls must be placed on hold.
Tips
• Engaging the Hold feature typically generates music or a beeping tone. For this reason, avoid
putting a conference call on hold.
• When you have multiple calls on one line, the active call always appears at the top of the phone
screen. Held calls appear below.
• You can put up to six calls on hold, depending on how many calls are configured for your line. If
you need more calls configured for your line, ask your phone support team.
