The line is disconnected.

The power of the system remains on even if the line is 
disconnected.

To cancel disconnection of the system
Click “Cancel”.

You can easily register the remote party who has just 
disconnected.
If the “Last Number Registration” item in the Device 
Setup menu is set to “On”, the message “Register this 
participant in the list?” appears after a videoconference 
with an unregistered remote party is finished. When you 
click “OK”, the Edit List menu appears.

• If the “Last Number Registration” item is set to “Off”, 

the message “Register this participant in the list?” does 
not appear.

• If a “Memory Stick” containing Private Phone Book data 

is inserted, the entry will be saved in the Private Phone 
Book.

• If you do not click “OK” when the message appears, the 

message will disappear after about 30 seconds, and the 
remote party will not be registered to the list.

The PCS-TL33 can join a multipoint videoconference as 
the child terminal to an MCU (Multipoint Control Unit).
The procedures for initiating and accepting calls are the 
same as for a point-to-point videoconference. For details, 
see the sections “Starting a Conference by Calling a 
Remote Party” on page 48 and “Receiving a Call From a 
Remote Party” on page 55.

Because the PCS-TL33 does not feature the MCU 
function, this system cannot be used to host a multipoint 
videoconference.

When participating in a multipoint videoconference, the 
video from the local system can be broadcast to all other 
participants.
To do this, click “Broadcast Mode” at the bottom of the 
menu bar, and then click “Start” in the Broadcast Mode 
menu.
The 

 indicator appears at the bottom right of the screen 

during broadcast.
To stop broadcasting, click “Stop” in the Broadcast Mode 
menu.

To close the Broadcast Mode menu during broadcast, click 
the “Back” or   button. To stop broadcasting, open the 
Broadcast Mode menu again by clicking “Broadcast 
Mode” at the bottom of the menu bar, and click “Stop”.
