CONFERENCE CALLS

This feature allows you to link both lines together for a 3-way conversation between you and the parties on LINE 1 and LINE

To Conference both lines:

1.Place the original call on HOLD by pressing the LINE/Flash key corre- sponding to the unoccupied LINE (ei- ther to make a call or answer an in- coming call).

2.Once you have connected with your second party, while the original call remains on HOLD, press CONF/ CLEAR You are now linked to both lines.

3.To end your conference call, press OFF.

Conference Call Tips:

While in CONFERENCE mode, press- ing HOLD will place both lines on HOLD. Press CONF again to return to your conference call.

While in CONFERENCE mode, if you want to disconnect one line only, do the following:

1.Press the LINE key corresponding to the LINE you wish to disconnect. The other line will be placed on HOLD.

2.Press OFF.

3.Press the appropriate LINE key to return to the remaining call.

If the Handset is in CONFERENCE mode, the Base Unit can join the call.

If the Base Unit is in CONFERENCE mode, the Handset can join the call.

For example: If the Handset is in CON- FERENCE mode, and someone at the Base Unit wants to join the conversa- tion, press either LINE key on the Base Unit. The Base Unit has now entered CONFERENCE mode.

When both the Handset and the Base Unit are in CONFERENCE mode, pressing OFF on either unit does not hang up the lines. It only turns the particular unit OFF. OFF needs to be pressed on both the Handset and Base Unit to end your 4-Way conference call.
