When you use the Conference key to initiate a conference call, the following screen displays.

Pre-Dial & Live Dial Mode
By default, when users are initiating a conference call or transfer, they will not hear a dial tone before dialing begins (pre-
dial mode). The phone does not automatically dial out the number until the user presses the "Conf" key. This allows the
users to make changes to the dialing number before initiating the call. Administrators can configure a live dial mode.
In live dial mode, when the user is completing a conference call or transfer, they will hear a dial tone before dialing begins.
In addition, the phone will either match the number to the dial plan or wait for the set digit timeout.
In the default pre-dial mode, users are able to edit the destination number prior to dialing, whereas in live dial mode they
are not able to, however the "Dial" and "Cancel" softkeys are provided while the user inputs the number.
