Joining a Call
You can connect yourself to an outside call being conducted at another exten-
sion. This is called joining. For example, if John is on an outside call and wants
you to participate in that call, you can join in simply by pressing the button of the
line John is on. You cannot join an intercom call.
To join a call:
A steady red light at a line button indicates a call in progress . . .
1.
2.
Press the line button.
Lift the handset.
The red and green lights alternately flash. You are now connected to that call.

You can tell that someone has joined your call when the steady green light
next to the line button changes to an alternately flashing red and green light.
To prevent other people from joining a call at your extension, use the Privacy
feature. (See p. 4-11.)
Do not confuse joining with conferencing. In joining, you add yourself to a
call in progress in the same way you would on a home telephone by picking
up an extension. In conferencing, the call originator calls you in the process
of setting up the call.
You cannot put a joined call on hold.
Up to two extensions can join a call. Therefore, a maximum of three exten-
sions can participate on a single call.
