This page describes how to make a conference call.

You can make up to a five-way conference call using your device (plus have one caller on hold). To do this, first you need to have one caller on the line. Then:

1. Press MENU then select New Call [ N]. Your foreground call is put on hold.
2. Call your second party (using any of the dialing methods). When that party answers, press MENU then select Conference. Your conference call displays. For example:
   
3. To add another party to the conference call, press MENU then select New Call [ N] again. Your conference call is placed on hold.
4. Call (using any of the dialing methods) your third party. When that party answers, press MENU then select Add to Conference.
5. You can continue selecting New Call [ N] from the menu until you have five callers on the conference call. Note: You can call a sixth party, but either the conference call or the sixth party will need to be placed on hold. From that state you can "switch" calls between the sixth party and the conference call.
6. From the conference call screen you can highlight an individual caller and press the TRACKBALL to open a context menu that offers the following actions.
   
   
   
   • Hold Other Callers - To leave the caller you have highlighted in the foreground call, but put all the other callers in the conference on hold.
   • Disconnect Caller - To drop the highlighted caller from the conference call, select this option. The other parties on the conference call remain.
   • End All Calls - This option appears if you have a conference call in the foreground and another caller on hold.
     
7. To end the conference call, press the End Call button. If you also have a call on hold and want to end all calls, press and hold the TRACKBALL to bring up the context menu and select End All Calls.
