Adding Another Party Without Using Hold

You can add another party to a conference without putting your connection to the conference on

hear the other party when they answer.
You can also add a new party using hold if you do not want the existing conference to hear the
process.
Procedure
1. If not already highlighted, press the up or down cursor keys to display and highlight the
conference call.
2. Press the Details soft key.
3. Press Add.
4. Enter the number of the party you want to add and press Call. Alternatively, press Dir to
select a name from the directory.
5. If the other party does not answer, is not available or does not want to join the conference,
press Drop.
