Chapter 5: Three-party conference call

Introduction to three-party conference calls

You can use a three-party conference call to speak with two people at different locations on the same call.

A conference between a call waiting (second call) and the first talking party is not possible.

Making a conference call

1.While active on a call, press the Conference button.

2.Enter the call number for the additional participant or use phone book/ destination key.

When the additional participant answers, press the Conference button again to start the conference.

3.If the additional participant does not answer, press the Drop button to return to the first call.

Note:

If you use the Hold button to put the first call on hold instead and then call the additional participant, you can first talk to the participant privately while the first caller is on hold. Then select the Conference with … menu item to connect all participants.

Expanding conference with another participant

Conferences can be expanded to up to 9 participants. Conferences with external participants are always limited to three participants.
