Pick A Call and Add to Conference

You can use the Pickup feature to pick up the following kinds
of calls and add them to a conference call.
• a call alerting or ringing on another extension, on your
phone or other phones
• a call on hold on another line, on your phone or another
phone
• a call parked on another extension
• a call on busy standby queuing for another extension
• a call on busy standby queuing for the line that you are using
To pick a call and add it to a conference,
1. Press the Pickup key during a two-party call or a conference
call. Or get a dial tone and dial * 3.
The other call is placed on consultation hold.
2. Dial the extension where the call to be picked up is located.
If the call you are picking up is on busy standby queuing for
your line, you will already be connected to it now. You do
not have to dial an extension for it.
3. After the picked up party answers, press the Conference
(CONF) key to join all the parties.
All parties will hear a conference tone to signal that another
party has joined the call.
If the picked up party does not want to join the conference,
press the Clear key. This disconnects the picked up party and
returns you to the original call.
To go back and forth (toggle) between the picked up party
and the original call, press the Connect key.
Note: You can also transfer, place on hold, place on
consultation hold, or park a call you have picked up. (See
"Transfer" on page 39, "Hold" on page 26, "Connect" on
page 22, and "Park" on page 29.)
To screen an incoming call before picking it up, put the
conference on hold and answer the call. Then return to the
conference, pick up the call, and add it to the conference.
