stations slowly flashes red. While a call
is on hold, you can temporarily place the
handset on the base or use another line
without disconnecting the current call.

released, so any station in the system
can release the hold.

line button for that line at any station.
The station's line indicator lights green.
The call then reverts to Call Privacy and
other stations cannot join the call.
Note:
If you put a call on hold for more than
three minutes, the line indicator flashes rap-
idly and a beep sounds three times every 30

has been on hold for eight minutes, the call is
automatically disconnected.

com between stations. The system has two
intercom channels, so two intercom conver-
sations can occur at the same time. If auto
answer is turned on, and you receive an in-
tercom call, the station beeps and the inter-
com is instantly connected. If auto answer is
not turned on, the called station starts ringing
with a double ring.
