3. Press the Conference (Confrn) soft key.

press the more soft key, then the Confrn soft key to add that party into the
conference call.
NOTE: If you get a called party's voice mail, press the EndCall soft key then the Resume
soft key to cancel the addition.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 to add additional parties to the conference.
•
The parties connected to the conference call remain connected to each
other while you add additional parties. They may carry on a conversation
with each other while you finish adding parties to the conference.
•
Even if the call initiator disconnects, any of the other parties (who have
the conference feature) can use it to add new parties.
•
To place a conference call on hold, press the HOLD soft key. The other
parties can talk among themselves but they can't hear you.
•
When you put the call on hold, a beeping tone automatically sounds every
few seconds. To avoid disrupting the other callers, consider muting the
call instead. To mute the call, press the MUTE button.
•
To transfer a conference call to another telephone, press the Transfer
(Trnsfr) soft key. Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call
and then press Trnsfr key again.
The FrameMaker telephone system generates different ringer and dial tones,
depending on call conditions.
There are two types of dial tone:
•
Internal Dial Tone – A continuous, higher-pitched tone
•
External (Outside) Dial Tone – A continuous, lower-pitched tone
There are several types of ringers – all are answered the same way:
•
One Ring – Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and when the system
has called your extension to remind you or to notify you about something.
•
Two Rings – External Calls
