Call Parking

The Call Park feature is very useful for reducing the hold time that callers experience. For example, you
are currently on the phone with a caller who needs assistance. But everyone is busy with calls or helping

other customers. You don’t want to send the caller to somebody’s voicemail. You don’t want to transfer

them from extension to extension to extension. So you park the call in its own automatically-numbered
“parking space.” Then, while the caller listens to hold music, you can intercom, instant message or tell
your co-workers that there’s a call waiting. The next available employee picks up the park call by dialing
the parking space number and assists the caller.

Park a call:

• To Park a call press the ‘Park’ soft-key.

• To UnPark a call pick up the handset and then press the ‘UnPark’ soft-key.
