MAKING CONFERENCE CALLS

You can use your phone to create conference calls that include up to three parties.
(With the installation of an optional 8-party conference card, you can include up to
eight parties.)
Notes:
• When no optional conference card is installed, the System supports the
following types of 3-party conference calls:
• 3 extensions
• 2 extensions and 1 outside line
• 1 extension and 2 outside lines
• When the optional 8-party conference card is installed, the System supports
any combination of conference calls, except all outside lines.
The Version 2.0 software release allows any combination of extensions and CO lines
be in the conference as long as the original extension is in the conference and the
total number of parties does not exceed 8. With Version 2.0 software, only one
operation is used to establish and add to a conference. You simply have to place the
current call on hold, dial the next party and press the CONF key. No different
operation or access code is required to add additional parties to the call.
To establish a conference call
1. While on a call, press the HOLD key or the outside line key you are using.
2. If adding an outside party, press a vacant CO key or dial a trunk access code.
3. Dial the number of the party you want to add to the call.
4. Press the CONF key when your call is answered. (You are connected to the
called party.)
