Answer a call left on hold for too long

Your phone is configured to provide cues that let you know when you have left a call on hold for too long:

  • 6800 Series and 7800 Series desk phones—Flashing red line button

  • 6800 Series, 7800 Series, and 8800 Series desk phones—Flashing message indicator on the handset

  • Conference phones—Flashing LED bar

  • Visual notification on the phone screen

  • Ringing notification on the phone if a hold reminder is configured on the phone web page

    A reboot clears the hold reminder that you have configured on the phone web page and switches to default settings. If you register a phone to Webex Calling, the phone downloads the configuration from the backend every time a reboot is performed.

Do one of the following actions:

  • Desk phones—Press Hold the Hold key or Resume to resume the held call.
  • Conference phones—Press Answer to resume the held call.
