JOINING ANOTHER CALL (BRIDGING)
If you share an outside line with another person, you can join in a conversation by
touching the line button and picking up the handset. This is called “bridging.” Up to
three people can share a call—the person who placed the call (the originator) and
two others. The originator knows that others are on the line because the red and
green line lights on her/his phone flash while the others are bridged to the call.
Bridging is often used with conference calls.
