Do you know mute?
Using proper etiquette while on a conference call is important, like muting your phone when noise can interrupt the conversation. This is especially true if the conference call takes place somewhere other than your office. Being able to mute your phone properly can keep the conversation going while you deal with other tasks.
Instructions
1. Read your phone's instruction manual to learn about your phone. This prevents you from entering the wrong commands during the call. Most business phones come with mute buttons.
2. Press the mute button during a conference call when there is a lot of noise. You can continue to listen to the conversation.
3. Press the mute button again as soon as the distraction is gone, or when you have something to add to the conversation. Forgetting to do this will make it seem as though you aren't there or aren't paying attention.
4. Avoid using cell phones during conference calls, but if you have to use one, familiarize yourself with your particular model's mute function before the conference call begins. Typically, the mute option will appear above the soft key you need to press.
