GETTING STARTED
PLACING CALLS ON HOLD
You can place calls on hold in one of two ways: individual or system.
• Individual Hold places the call on hold at one endpoint. It can then be directly
picked up at that endpoint or it can be picked up at another endpoint using the
Reverse Transfer (Call Pickup) feature (see page 23).
• System Hold places the call on hold in the system. You can then pick up the call
at any endpoint that has a flashing button for the call, including the endpoint that
placed it on hold.
NOTE: You cannot place intercom calls on system hold.
To place a call on Individual Hold:
1. Press the button.
2. Hang up or place another call.
To place an outside call on System Hold:
1. Press and dial .
2. Hang up or place another call.
To return to a call that is on hold:
