Holding and Releasing the Call Hold

You can put a caller on hold and reconnect on the badge and Vocera smartphone.

When a call is on hold, you can press the Call button, and then call another badge or phone, send a message, or give the Genie any other authorized command when the Genie answers.

Note: If you put a call on hold on a Vocera smartphone, you cannot use the keypad to dial an extension to place another call. However, you can press the Call button and use a Genie command "Dial extension" or "Dial an outside number" to dial a number.
