Conference Calls
Setting up Conference Calls
You can set up a conference call with two other people. During 
a conference call, you can send and receive video with only one 
conference participant. If you want, you can switch the person 
with whom you exchange video.
To set up a conference:
  • Call the first party
  • After the first party answers, tap the Conference   
    soft key. The active call is placed on hold 
  • Place a call to the second party.
  • When the second party answers, tap the
    Conference soft key. All parties are joined in the    
    conference.
You can do the following:
  • To place the conference on hold, tap the Hold soft   
    key. To resume the call, tap the Resume soft key.
  • To end the conference, but keep the other participants 
     connected, tap the End Call soft key
  • To end the conference and place all participants on 
    hold, tap the Split soft key
  • To start and stop the transmission of near-site video,  
    tap the Video soft key, and then tap the Stop Video
    soft key. (You will still receive video.) To start the 
    transmission of near-site video again, tap the Start
    Video soft key.
Using Video 
Make sure you open the privacy shutter (centred above the 
touch screen) using the privacy shutter adjuster (centred along  
the top edge, above the camera). You can also adjust the camera 
barrel (located behind the camera) up or down.  
During a video call, tap the Video soft key to do the following:
  • To start or stop transmitting video, tap the Start   
     Video or Stop Video soft key.
  • To display the video that appears in the large
    window on the entire screen, tap the Full Screen
    soft key. To return to normal viewing mode, tap the   
    full screen video.
  • To toggle the video to display large far-site video    
    with PIP near-site video, or PIP far-site video with 
    larger near-site video, tap the Swap soft key.
