Calls to busy numbers cannot be added to a conference. If you reach a busy
number, you can press and release either the Recall or Flash button or the
switchhook to drop the outside line.
A single-line telephone user can drop the most recently added participant from the
conference by pressing and releasing either the Recall or Flash button or the
switchhook.
If a single-line telephone with a timed or positive disconnect (for example, Lucent
Technologies model 2500YMGK, 2500MMGK, or 8110M) is used, pressing the
switchhook disconnects the call. With this type of telephone, the Recall or Flash
button must be used instead of the switchhook to add a conference participant or
drop the most recently added conference participant. The 8100M telephone must
have positive disconnect programmed on the telephone, as described in its user
guide.
