Other Multiline Telephones
A multiline telephone user arranges a conference call by pressing the
Conference button after receiving a call or dialing the first outside number or
extension. The green LED next to the button used to make the call flashes to
indicate the person is on hold for the conference. An outside participant hears
Music-on-Hold if it is programmed, and an inside participant hears nothing. The
user then selects another line button, dials the next number, and presses the
Conference button again. When the user presses the Conference button a
second time, all participants (including the originator) are connected.
To add another person, the user presses the Conference button again. The
green LEDS next to the line buttons flash, but the participants can converse.
The originator can continue to add participants by pressing the Conference
button, selecting a line or dialing the number, and pressing the Conference
button until up to two outside lines and three extensions (including the
conference originator) are in the conference. The user can converse privately
with each participant before pressing the Conference button to join other
participants.
Calls to busy numbers cannot be added to a conference. A user who reaches a
busy number can press any of the line buttons associated with the conference
call to disconnect the call to the busy number before continuing to add
participants.
To selectively drop a participant, the multiline telephone user presses the Drop
button followed by the line button for the participant to be dropped. To leave
the conference call temporarily without disconnecting the call, the user presses
the Hold button. To rejoin a held conference call, the user presses any line
button representing a conference participant. To end the conference, the user
hangs up and all participants are disconnected.
Single-Line Telephones
A single-line telephone user sets up a conference call by pressing and
releasing the Recall button or switchhook after receiving a call or dialing the
first outside number or extension. The participant automatically goes on hold
(an outside participant hears Music-on-Hold if it is programmed, and an inside
participant hears nothing). The user then dials the other number and presses
and releases the Recall button or switchhook again. All participants are
connected on the conference call. A total of three participants can be included
on a conference call originated from a single-line telephone. The user can
converse privately with each participant before pressing and releasing the
Recall button or the switchhook to join other participants.
Calls to busy numbers cannot be added to a conference. If the user reaches a
busy number, the user can press and release the Recall button or switchhook
to drop the outside line.
A single-line telephone user can drop the most recently added participant from
the conference by pressing and releasing the Recall or Flash button or
switchhook.
