and the call cost setting is on. The call costs
are calculated according to the settings

Making a new call
When you already have one active call, the New
call command is shown in the Telephone main
view. To make a new call, press New call and
make the new call normally, or press Cancel to
cancel the new call.
If you already have an active and a held call, you
cannot make new calls before either dropping a
previous call or merging them into a conference
call.
Conference call
The conference call is a network service; contact
your network operator to check if this service is
available. In a conference call, you and up to five re-
mote persons can hear each other simultaneously.
To create a conference call:
1 Make the first call normally.
2 Once this person has answered, make a call to
the second participant by pressing New call.
3 Wait until the second person answers the call.
4 To join the first participant in the call, press
Call commands and choose the Conference
call option from the pop-up box. If you want
to include a new person in the conference
call, repeat this operation. When all partici-
pants have been included in the conference
call, the best voice quality is achieved by clos-
ing the cover and continuing the call via the
phone interface.
To end the call with a conference call participant:
1 Press Conference commands.
2 Select one caller from the list of participants
(figure 4-3) and press Drop. To return to the
previous view, press Close.
To talk privately to one of the conference call
participants:
1 Press Conference commands.
2 Select a participant from the list and press
One to one. The conference call is now split
into two calls: the conference is on hold and
the one-to-one call is the active call.
3 Once you have finished the private conversa-
tion, you can add the person back into the
conference call by pressing Conference call.
Voice call transfer
The voice call transfer is a network service which
enables you to connect two voice calls together
and disconnect yourself from both calls.
