An external call can be placed on hold. This hold function enables you to make an enquiry in the
room, or to call another internal number. Your telephone partners cannot hear the enquiry. They
will hear music on hold.
Note: - The hold function is dependent on the dialling mode of your telephone.
- The hold function can only be used 12 seconds after the last number was dialled.
- If you replace the handset during the hold function your extension will ring for
45 seconds as a reminder that someone is waiting on hold. If the external call is not
retrived during this time, then the call will be disconnected.
