Conferencing
If you have more than one handset, up to four
people can participate in a conference call. A three-
way conference call consists of an outside line and
two stations. A four-way conference call consists
of an outside line, the base speaker phone, and
two handsets. You can easily join a call already in
progress.
From the handset, press /FLASH or SPEAKER to
join the call. From the base, press SPEAKER. You
can hang up normally; the other station will still be
connected to the call.
