Notes:

• Mute your phone during the speaker's presentation to eliminate unnecessary noise over the phone lines. Disengage from mute for Q&A. If you do NOT have a mute button on your phone, press '*6' to mute during the presentation. To disengage from mute press '*6' again.
• Disengage call waiting (check local phone directory for instructions).
• Do not put conference call on 'hold' since 'hold' audio will be disruptive to other call participants.
• If possible, avoid using cellular or cordless phones which may cause unnecessary feedback or noise during the conference.
• For best sound quality when using speaker phones, face the microphone when speaking. Mute the phone/microphones when not speaking.
