Audio Conference Calls

When you are in a conference call, follow these tips:
● Use the handset or a headset if you're in an open environment.
● Mute your microphone when you are not speaking, especially in noisy environments.
● Avoid tapping or rustling papers near the microphone.
● Speak in your normal voice without shouting.
You can initiate an audio conference call with two contacts and hold, resume, or split a conference call on your
VVX business media phone. VVX 500 & 600 phones can manage a maximum of 12 active or held conference
calls at a time. However, you can have only one active conference call in progress with numerous other
conference calls on hold.
If your system administrator enables the Conference Management feature on your phone, you can manage each
participant in the call. With the Conference Management feature, you can mute, hold, and remove individual
participants in a conference call. For more information, see the section
