Automatic Hold/Retrieve provides an alternate method to hold and retrieve calls. When this feature is active, you can automatically hold and retrieve incoming calls without having to use feature access codes. Specifically:

• Calling a user with Automatic Hold/Retrieve puts the caller on hold.
• Transferring a call to a user with Automatic Hold/Retrieve holds the remote party.
• You can hold a call against a user with Automatic Hold/Retrieve.
• You can retrieve a held call by calling a user with Automatic Hold/Retrieve who has a call on hold.

After a call has been held on a user with Automatic Hold/Retrieve for a long time, the service will try to recall the party who transferred the call to that user. If the recall is answered, the transferring party is connected to the held party.  If the recall hits the busy treatment (or any other treatment), the recall is aborted and will be retried 10 seconds later. If the recall is not answered, it will ring until there is a device timeout, and then the recall will be retried 10 seconds later.
