Conference Calls
You can conference together up to eight parties (including yourself) - with up to six
parties being external network lines. The actual number of conference parties with
acceptable volume levels depends on the local and far end telephone line conditions.
The person who initiates the conference call is the Master. If, after the conference is
established, the Master exits the conference, the first station to have been added to the
conference becomes the Master.
 To conference calls
1. While on a call, press
Cnf/Trn
. You hear dial tone and your Line LED flashes green.
2. Call another station or outside line.
3. When the called party answers, press
Cnf/Trn
. If you receive a busy tone or no
answer, press
Cnf/Trn
again to return to the original connection.
All parties are conferenced. If the second call was placed on a
Line
that appears on
your telephone, the LED also flashes green.
4. Repeat steps 1~3 until all parties are added or the maximum number of parties is
reached.
Note When the Master of the conference hangs up, the control is automatically
transferred to the first internal station added to the conference call. If no other
internal stations are included in the conference call, the call will be
disconnected.
 To transfer conference control
1. Complete Steps 1 and 2 above to add the line to which you wish to transfer
conference control. See previous Note.
2. Announce the call and hang up to transfer it. This station now becomes the
conference Master with the ability to add or delete parties.
 To hold a conference call
 If you are the Conference Master, press the

button once (or twice for
Executive Hold) to place the conference call on hold. The other parties can
continue with the conference. Music-on-hold is suppressed and your extension
LED flashes green. You can rejoin the conference at any time by pressing your
extension button. When you return, you retain Master status.
