Using Other Features

Setting Up a Conference Call
A conference call involves more than two parties connected to a call. The number of persons you can add using your Conference hardkey to participate in a conference call depends on your system configuration. Contact your system administrator for details about your system’s conference capabilities.
You can set up a conference call using either of the following methods:

• In a blind conference call, you add persons to a conference call without them first answering your call.
• In a consultative conference call, you talk to each person before adding that person to the conference call.

To set up a conference call

Logging in activates your profile on any phone that supports Hot Desking. When you log in as a hot desk user, Call History data is updated for you. You do not see any call logs for the phones registered DNs; you see only your history data. When you log out, the history for registered DNs are displayed.

Contact your telephone equipment retailer or distributor to purchase a compatible headset.
NOTE

• Customers should read and observe all safety recommendations contained in headset operating guides when using any headset.
• The 6910 IP phone supports only analog headsets.
• Headsets connected to the 6910 IP phone are limited in functionality to answering, ending, and muting calls.
