The parties connected to the conference call remain connected to each
other while you add additional parties. They may carry on a conversation
with each other while you finish adding parties to the conference.
Even if the call initiator disconnects, any of the other parties (who have
the conference feature) can use it to add new parties.
To place a conference call on hold, press the HOLD soft key. The other
parties can talk among themselves but they can't hear you.
When you put the call on hold, a beeping tone automatically sounds every
few seconds. To avoid disrupting the other callers, consider muting the
call instead. To mute the call, press the MUTE button.
To transfer a conference call to another telephone, press the Transfer
(Trnsfr) soft key. Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call
and then press Trnsfr key again.
Internal Dial Tone – A continuous, higher-pitched tone
External (Outside) Dial Tone – A continuous, lower-pitched tone
One Ring – Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and when the system
has called your extension to remind you or to notify you about something.
Two Rings – External Calls
Distinctive Rings – A different ring tone is provided for up to two
additional Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers assigned to your telephone
by the system administrator. These numbers do not appear as lines on
your telephone, but ring your prime line with the appropriate ring when
they are dialed.
Priority Ring – The call screening feature allows users to designate
specific callers as important enough to ring through to their telephone
even if Do Not Disturb is activated. A different ring tone is provided for
calls assigned the Priority Call option. See "Priority Call" on page 58.
