Consultation / Hold

The “Consultation/Hold” feature allows you to place an ex-

isting call on hold. You then may consult with someone else

at your workplace or dial a second call. The party on hold

does not hear the second conversation. Once you have fin-

ished the consultation, you can return to the original connec-

tion.

To place a call on hold and then reactivate it, proceed as fol-

lows:

If you return to Caller No. 1 by pressing the Hold button, the

connection to Caller No. 2 is not cleared down until Caller No.

2 hangs up. Connection charges continue to accrue.

Call No. 1

You are talking to Caller No. 1.

Press the Hold button. Caller No. 1 is now on hold

and you can consult someone else.

To dial a second call, simply dial either the de-

sired extension number or the outside line access

“0” followed by the desired external number.

Call No. 2

If the call is answered, you can consult on this

line. The original caller is still on hold.

If the number you dialed is busy or the call is not

answered, press the Hold button again to return

to Call No. 1.

To switch back to Call No. 1 after talking on the

second connection, dial the sequence shown at

left. Call No. 1 is now active again.

Call No. 1

You can also return to Call No. 1 by hanging up the

handset: this ends the connection to Call No. 2.

Your telephone rings, and when you pick up the

handset Call No. 1 is active again.

Hang up the handset to end the connection.
