The Basics Conference Calls
Adding Voice Mail to a Conference
The Conference Master can add voice mail to a conference. This feature enables participants in a
conference to listen to or leave a voice mail message during one telephone call.
➤To add Voice Mail to a conference call (performed by Conference Master)
1. Press Cnf/Trn to place the current call on Consultation Hold.
2. Dial the voice mail (VM) extension number, then enter the VM mailbox and security code. This adds
the voice mailbox to the conference.
3. Press Cnf/Trn to reconnect to the original party. (You can continue to add conference members by
pressing Cnf/Trn and dialling another extension.)
Now, all parties in the conference can listen to or record a message to this voice mailbox. Only the
Master can control the VM with touchtones or Soft Keys.
Connecting Two Outside Lines
1. While talking on an outside call, press Cnf/Trn. You hear dial tone. The extension LED flashes
(conference rate).

3. After the party answers, press Cnf/Trn. The extension LED flashes (in-use rate) and all parties are
conferenced.
If you receive a busy tone or if the station does not answer, press the flashing extension button to
return to the original connection, press Cnf/Trn.
4. Hang up. The extension LED flashes (exclusive-hold rate) and the two lines are connected. The LED
turns Off when the parties hang-up.
5. To supervise a tandem call, press the extension button. If the parties have finished, hang up...or if the
parties are still talking, press Cnf/Trn and hang-up. Both Line LEDs turn Off and the connection is
released.
If your telephone company provides auto disconnect, the connection may release automatically when
the parties hang up. If not, the lines must be supervised to be disconnected.
