HOW TO USE
If you share a line with another person, you can join (or "bridge" onto) a call
in progress on that line. In this way you can easily join a conference call by
just touching a line button and lifting your handset. (See "Conference.")
Up to three people connected to the MERLIN Plus system, including the
originator of the call, can bridge onto a call at one time.
When a person bridges onto a call in progress, the red and green lights next to
the line button on your voice terminal flash alternately so that you know that
someone else has joined the call.
You cannot use the Bridging feature on a voice terminal with Button-Free
Line Operation.
If the person has activated the Privacy feature on his or her voice terminal,
you cannot bridge onto a call in progress at that voice terminal.
None
