Group Call
Group Call automatically calls members of a predefined group, one at a time, until they have all
answered. Ask your system administrator for details on creating a conference call group.
To call group members:
1. Lift the handset or press a DN key.
2. Press ≈, or enter the Group Call FFC. The group members are called automatically.
The º beside the Group Call key flashes until all members have answered.
3. When all of them have answered, the º stops flashing and remains on.
Their phone numbers appear on the display as they answer. When the last person answers, the Group
Call indicator lights steadily.
When a person in your group is on another call on the extension the incoming group call is on, the
group call is put in Camp-on or Call Waiting mode.
When a person in your group is on a conference call or another group call, he or she is not connected
to your group call.
After all the people in the group have answered, only the person who made the group call can put the
call on hold.
To answer a Group Call:
— Lift the handset or press the DN key.
If you are on a call and you hear three 10-second tones through the handset or speaker, you are being
notified of an incoming group call on your current extension.
If you are on a call on another extension on your telephone when a group call is made, you hear a
long tone through the handset or speaker.
If you are on a conference call or a group call when another group call comes in, you are not notified
of the second call.
To end a Group Call:
— Replace the handset or press
R.
When the person who made the group call disconnects, all the members of the group are disconnected
from the call. However, the other members can disconnect at any time during the call without affecting the
call.
