How to Use Call Park Feature?
To park an active call, dial *68#. During the transfer, follow the prompts:
- Enter the extension or DDi. Press the # key to park the call on that extension
- Or press key to park the call on the same extension
To retrieve the parked call, dial *88#. Follow the prompts:
- Enter the extension or DDi. Press the # key to retrieve the call parked against that extension
- Or press key to retrieve call against the same extension
- Cisco IP phones have a functionality where transferring the call to *68# is not required. The call can be parked using the soft key button by clicking on more options on the screen (3 dots) and pressing the Park button while the call is active.
- Similarly calls can be retrieved without dialling *88# by using the soft key button by clicking on more options on the screen (3 dots) and pressing the Unpark button while the call is idle.
