Question

How do I used the conference unit, and how do I make conference calls?

Answer

How to use the conference unit:

1.  Place your call (if you are dialing long distance, you will need your long distance code).

2.  If needed, conference in multiple callers by using the transfer/conference key (see directions below).

3.  Press the blue/grey colored Superkey with the phone on it.

4.  Press Conference Unit.

5.  Press Turn On.

6.  When call is done, press Turn Off. **

• This step is very important. Failing to terminate calls can result in excessive long distance charges!

If you need to connect a laptop, there is a port on the back of the phone.  There should already be a black cord coming out of the phone for this.  The phone must be plugged directly into the network jack in order for it to operate.

3.  Wait for an answer.

4.  Press (TRANS/CONF).
