Consultation Feature

The device's Consultation feature allows you to place a call on hold and then make a second call to another party.

■ After placing a call on hold (by pressing hook-flash), the holding party hears a dial tone and can initiate a new call, which is called a Consultation call.
■ While hearing a dial tone or when dialing to the new destination (before dialing is complete), the user can retrieve the held call by pressing hook-flash.
■ The held call can’t be retrieved while ringback tone is heard.
■ After the Consultation call is connected, the user can toggle between the held and active call by pressing the hook-flash key.

Consultation calls are applicable only to FXS interfaces.
