What does "cover receiver" mean? Thanks
Dear all,
Could you tell me the meaning of “cover the receiver” in the following sentence. Thank you very much.
May I place you on hold? Wait for an answer, then push the hold botton. Do not just cover the receiver.

On traditional phones, the "receiver" is the part that you pick up in order to hear and speak. "covering" the receiver (typically with your hand) would prevent the person at the other end from hearing you.
