Tips

•If you frequently join more than two parties into a single conference, you may find it useful to first select the calls that you want to join, then press Join to complete the action.

•When Join completes, caller ID changes to “Conference.”

•You may be able to combine multiple conference calls by using the Join or DirTrfr softkeys. Check with your system administrator to see if this feature is available to you.

•A Call Chaperone user can conference only the first caller. Subsequent callers can be conferenced by the other participants in the conference.
