Joining a Call
Joining is adding yourself to a call in progress, the same way you do on a home telephone by
picking up an extension phone (unlike conferencing, where the originator “pulls you into” the call).

On a Standard Phone
To join an outside call
You can program Privacy on-
to an MLS- or MLC-model
phone to keep users at other
extensions from joining a call
on your phone (see page
5-16). Also, Automatic
Extension Privacy (page
5-11) can be centrally pro-
grammed for an extension to
prevent other extensions from
joining calls. You cannot put
a joined call on hold.
To join a call on a line that is
not assigned to your MLS- or
MLC-model phone, see
Appendix B.
1. Press the button of the line on which
the call is being conducted.
A steady red light at a line button indicates
a call in progress.
2. Lift the handset to speak.
The red and green lights alternately flash.
You are now joined with the call.
You can tell when someone has joined
your call because the lights next to the
line button change to alternately flashing
red and green.
You can join a call only on your primary
line. To join a call in progress:
Lift the handset to speak.
You are now joined with a call on your
primary line.
If an MLS- or MLC-model phone, joins a
call on a standard phone, there is a
momentary “break” in the call on the
standard phone.
* If you are using an MLC-6 cordless phone, make sure the handset is on before following these instructions. For more
information on using the MLC-6 phone, see AT&T MLC-6 Cordless Telephone Quick Reference: Display and Controls.
