Additional Call Handling
Each phone line you have available can handle up to six individual calls. Therefore, it is possible that you
will have a call in progress and receive another call on the same line. Or you could have a call in
progress and decide to call someone else to confirm a piece of information, only to return to your original
call. You can also use the additional call handling feature in order to set up a three- or four-way
conference call.
Answering an additional call while a call is in progress
If this occurs, your handset/headset will beep and the additional call will appear on the LCD panel on your
phone.
Step 1)
Use the SCROLL buttons to scroll to that call and then press the Answer soft key.
Step 2)
Your original call will be placed on hold while you are talking to the second caller.
Step 3)
If the third party hangs up, you will automatically be reconnected to your original call.
Step 4)
Otherwise, you can press the EndCall soft key on the third party, which will also
automatically reconnect you to your original call.
Step 5) Finally, you can use the SCROLL button to alternate between calls. You will need to scroll to
each call and then press the Resume soft key to reconnect to that call. The other caller will
be placed on hold.
Making a call while a call is in progress
If you are in the middle of a call and want to talk to another party briefly while still being connected to your
original second party, then you can use the same line to dial out an additional call. You can make up to
six calls on each line you have available.
.
Step 1)
Press the HOLD button to place your original call on hold.
Step 2)
Press the NewCall soft key.
Step 3)
Dial the number of the additional party.
Step 4)
You should now be connected to your third party. Your second party will be placed on hold
while you interact with the third party. You can reconnect to your second party by using the
SCROLL buttons and the Resume soft key.
Notes: Only one call can be “active” at any given time. All other calls are automatically placed on hold.
To instantly create a conference call between three or more parties (yourself included), press the
more soft key followed by the Join soft key. This will automatically create a conference with all
the parties that are connected (see the Conference Call section for more details).
