In DME hold mode, what happens to the ident?

Explanation:
In DME hold mode, the display prioritizes maintaining the precise distance to the DME station and the hold geometry. The ident is the beacon’s identification signal, which would normally help verify you’re tuned to the correct station. However, when you’re in hold, the system suppresses the ident on the screen to reduce clutter and avoid distracting you from the distance and track information essential to the hold. So the ident is removed from view.
