Conference Calls

When you initiate a conference call, you can hear audio for two or more contacts, manage conference
participants, and join calls into a conference or split a conference into individual calls.

Start a Conference Call

The phone supports up to 3-way conferencing using local bridging.
After starting a 3-way conference call, you can see all connected parties.
Procedure
1. Call a contact.
2. When the contact answers, press the Hold soft key.
3. Call a second contact.
4. When the contact answers, highlight the held call on the Calls screen and select Add to Conf.

Add a Contact to a Conference Bridge

When using an external conference bridge, the conference bridge limits the conference size.
Each person connects to the bridge individually, so you only see one connected call on your screen to the
conference bridge.
Procedure
1. While connected to the conference bridge, call a contact or take an incoming call.
The conference bridge is placed on hold.
2. When you or the contact answer the call, highlight the held conference bridge call, and select the
Add to Conf option.
