Making Telephone Calls
Making Conference Calls
Conference calls allow you to have multiple callers participating in the same
telephone call.
The ability to make conference calls with your telephone is an optional feature.
Your phone supports some of these features by default. However, the specific
features available to you depend on how your system administrator configured
your phone to support them.
These sections describe how to make conference calls with the phone:
• Placing a Conference Call, page 3-9
• Establishing Meet-Me Conference Calls, page 3-10

Placing a Conference Call

To turn a call into a conference call:
Step 1 During a call, press the conf button.
This automatically opens a new line and places the other party on hold.
Step 2 Place a call to another party.
Step 3 When the call connects, press conf again to add this party to the conference call.
Tip • Once the conference call initiator disconnects, no new parties can be added.
• Avoid putting a conference call on hold. When you put a call on hold, a
beeping tone automatically generates every few seconds, or music is played
(depending on how your administrator has configured the system).
• To transfer a conference call to another telephone, press the Transf er button.
Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call and then press
Trans fer again. All parties are transferred.
