You can set up a three-party conference, consisting of as 
many as two outside parties. To create a three-party 
conference:

While connected to one party, dial the station number 
of a second party. 
The first party is placed in consultation hold and an 
idle CAP is automatically selected for you.

 To cancel the call and return to the caller, press 
<CNCL>.

To announce the conference, wait until the called

To connect all parties immediately, press <CONF> as 
soon as the called party picks up. (Wait for the party 
to pick up before pressing <CONF>. Pressing

When the conference is formed, your display 
indicates how many parties are in the conference.
