  1. Put a call on hold
  2. Place a new call with a call on hold
  3. Retrieve a call from hold
  4. What will the caller hear while they are on hold?

Put a call on hold

Press the Hold softkey during a call to place the call on hold.

If there are multiple calls on hold, use the up and down navigation buttons to select the desired call and then press the Resume softkey.

Your first call will remain on hold for the duration of your second call unless you retrieve it.
