Making a Conference Call

43-698a.fm Page 19 Friday, August 13, 1999 12:56 PM

During the call, one of you can hang up and the call can continue at the other keypad.

Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from the base’s speaker, the handset and the base are too close together.

To talk with two parties using both out- side lines, see “Making a Conference Call.”

Follow these steps to make a 3-way conference call.

1.Place the first call on hold.

2.Make or answer a call on the other line.

Note: Be sure to wait until the other party answers when you make a call before proceeding to Step 3. If you press CONF before the other party answers, the call might not be connected.

3.Press CONF. The BATT LOW indi- cator briefly flashes, then you can talk with both parties.

To start a 4-way conference call (two outside lines, handset, and speaker- phone), first establish the 3-way con- ference call, then press either line button on the other keypad.

If you and someone else are already talking to an outside line using both the handset and speakerphone, the per- son at the handset should place the current call on hold, press the vacant line button, then make the call. Then, after the called party answers, press INTERCOM. After the person at the base presses SPEAKER to answer the intercom, press CONF to join all four parties.

To end the conference call, press TALK, return the handset to the base, or press SPEAKER on the base.

If you want to hang up one line and continue talking on the other, press HOLD to put both lines on hold, press the line button for the line you want to hang up, then press the line button for the line you want to keep.
