CONFERENCE CALLING
Conference calling lets you conduct 3-way

with one outside caller and one or more other
internal stations.

With Two Outside Callers

Follow these steps to have a conference call
with two outside callers.
1. Place the first call on hold by pressing
HOLD.
2. Place or answer a call on any of the
other three lines.
3. With the second call connected, press
CONFERENCE. All three parties are con-
nected.
To end the conference call, simply hang up.
To disconnect one of the callers from the
conference call, simply press the line button
for the caller you want to have stay on the
line.
To end the conference call and talk to both
callers individually, press HOLD. This ends
the conference call and puts both calls on
hold (see “Using Hold” on Page 16).
To start the conference call again, while both
calls are on hold, pick up one of the calls
then press CONFERENCE.

With One Outside Caller and One

or More Internal Stations

Follow these steps to have a conference call
with one outside caller and any or all other
internal stations.

number you want to join your call.
