Handling Calls

Making Conference Calls

Use the Conference button on your console to connect up to
five people in the same conversation. You can conference one
or two outside numbers and up to three extensions, including
your own.
Anyone who shares a line with you can join the conference on
that line and is counted as one of the five participants. You
can consult privately with each participant before adding him
or her to the conference. You can also drop any participant
from the conference by pressing the Drop button, and then
the line or SA button that the person is on.
If you originated the conference and then decide to drop out,
the entire conference call is disconnected. However, you can
put the call on hold while the conference continues and still
receive calls.
Note: The transmission quality may vary when you are
conferencing outside lines.
