Chapter 6: Three-party conference
Introduction to three-party conference calls
You can use a three-party conference call to speak with two people at different locations on
the same call. If the Multiple Conference feature has been enabled in your telephone system,
up to seven people can be included in the conference call.
A conference between a call waiting (second call) and the first talking party is not possible.

Making a conference call
1. While active on a call, press the Conference button.
2. Enter the call number for the additional participant or use phone book/
destination key.
When the additional participant answers, you are in a three-party conference.
3. If the additional participant does not answer, press the Drop button to return to the
first call.
If you use the new call to … menu item to call the additional participant, you can first talk to
the participant privately while the first caller is on hold. Then use the Conference button to
connect all participants.
