Conferencing two lines together
When you have active calls on both lines, you can join the two lines together in a conference call.
1.Place the first call on hold.
2.Switch to the other line and start the second call.
3.Press Menu, then select Conference. (On the base, you can also press Conference.)
During a conference call, you can speak with both outside callers at the same time, and the callers can speak with each other.
To separate the conference call back into two independent calls, press the soft key for either line. The other line is automatically put on hold, and you can switch between calls normally.
To disconnect both callers at the same time, just hang up normally (press End or put the handset back in the cradle).
To disconnect one caller at a time, select the line you want to disconnect, then hang up. Press the soft key to return to the other caller (on hold).
Other stations can also join in the conference call. See Using
