To set up a conference call with an active call and a held call:
>> If you have an active call and a held call, press the Join soft key.
A conference is created with the active call, the held call, and yourself.
Holding and Resuming Conferences
When you place a conference call on hold, you place the other two conference 
participants on hold. Your phone treats a conference call on hold as one held 
call. Therefore, your phone can have a maximum of eight conferences on hold 
at one time.
To place a conference call on hold:
>> From the Active:Conference screen, press the Hold soft key.
The Hold:Conference screen displays. The other two conference participants 
are placed on hold. The LEDs flash red to indicate that a call is held.
To resume the conference call, press the Resume soft key. The 
Active:Conference screen will display again.
Splitting Conferences
When you split a conference, you end the conference and place the other two 
conference participants on hold.
To split a conference:
>> From the Active:Conference or Hold:Conference screen, press the 
Split soft key.
The conference ends, and all calls are split into individual calls and placed on 
hold.
Note
If you have an active call and multiple calls on hold, the Join soft key isn’t available 
from the active call. Scroll to the call on hold that you want to join to the conference, 
and then press the Join soft key.
