Setting Up a 3-Way Conference Call

Conferencing

The Mute option is different from the Break to option. The Mute option mutes audio from the initiator, whereas the Break to option places one participant on hold, while allowing you to speak confidentially with the other participant.

Breaking To a Single Conference Participant

To speak confidentially with one of the conference participants, you can “break to” that participant. When you break to a conference participant, the other participant is placed on hold and can no longer hear either of you.

This option breaks the conference. When you are ready, you can re-establish the conference by selecting Options > Conference.

Breaking to a Conference Participant

To break to an individual conference participant:

1Select Options > Break to from the dialer screen. A menu appears, listing both the other participants.

2Select the participant with whom you want to speak confidentially.

Caution! Double-check that you are breaking to the correct party. It can be quite embarrassing to accidentally say something that was meant to be confidential to the wrong party.

The call status changes from “Conference” to again list the two separate calls. The party you broke to is the active call. The other call is on hold.

Resuming the Conference

To resume the conference, select Options > Conference.

Leaving the Conference (without ending it)

To leave the conference without ending the call between the other two parties, select Options > Leave.

The conference ends, and both the other parties are connected directly together on a new call.
