Making a Conference Call

This option joins the active call with a held call. With Conference Call, you can have a conference with up to five other telephones. At any time during your call, you can add, disconnect or separate individuals from the Conference Call using other “In-Call” menu options.

AYou must subscribe to both Conference Call and Call Waiting Supplementary Services to be able to use this feature.

Initiating a Conference Call

To initiate a Conference Call, place the active call on hold, and dial another phone number. You will then have one active call and one call on hold.

Press the Mkey to enter the “In-Call” menu and select Conference Call. The currently active call and the call on hold will then join into one Conference Call.

Adding a New Call

There are a number of different ways to add new calls to the Conference Call:

•Using the digit keys.

•Using the Make New Call option from the “In-Call” menu.

•Recalling a Phone Book Entry using Quick Access

•Answer Call Waiting.
