among themselves. To avoid disrupting the other callers, consider muting the call instead. To
mute the call, press the MUTE button.

button to mute the speakerphone. The conference parties cannot hear you but you can hear
them.
• The Cisco IP Phone 7940/7960 only allows three parties in a conference call.
• Call waiting calls cannot be conferenced in, the conferencing node must establish both legs of
the 3-Way conference.
