announce the call. The recipient can retrieve the call from any NBX

You want to continue a call on another telephone, for instance, in a 
conference room for privacy, and transferring the call does not give 
you enough time to retrieve it.

When you park a call, you assign it a Call Park extension, which anyone 
can use to retrieve it.

your location.

length of this waiting period.

Access button assigned to Call Park.

on your NBX Telephone displays Park Cancelled, and the call rings back 
to your telephone. Try another Call Park extension.
