3-way call on the 5340 phone

the caller ID.

updates with the caller ID.
5 Press the CONF softkey again. The 3-Way Call is now activated.
Notes: Until the CONF softkey is pressed a second time, the first party
will remain on hold and you can talk with the second party privately.
By putting a 3-Way Call on hold, the other parties can continue talking.
You can use the key instead of the CONF softkey. When using this
key you must press twice to activate a 3-way call or you will initiate a

connected (when both parties are external), you must have the
permission Redirect Inbound Call to External Number enabled.
Once the 3-Way Call is established, you can use the transfer feature to
transfer both parties to another party.
