Bridged Call

To join a conversation on a multiple line appearance

The Bridged Call feature lets you join a call if one of the other parties’ extensions also appears on your telephone (a multiple line appearance).

Although the same extension may appear on several telephones, only one of the parties with the same multiple line appearance can use the Bridged Call feature to join a call. Once a call has been bridged, another party with the same multiple line appearance cannot then bridge into the call. Bridging also cannot take place if either of the other original two parties are on hold or have turned on the Privacy feature.

During a call that has been bridged, none of the parties can use their key pads to enter feature access codes.

Press the line key whose status light is on.

Listen for the conference tone. Both parties on the other end will also hear the tone, and you will be joined in a three-way conversation. With display telephones, CONFERENCE is displayed on your telephone and CONFERRNG 1-2 is displayed on the bridged party’s telephone.

Begin speaking. If you do not have a speaker- phone, you must pick up your handset to speak to the other parties.
