							Making a Video Conference CallYou can make a video conference call using one of the following methods.
Note•During a video conference call, you cannot perform the following operations:
– Pressing  [Menu] to display the Menu screen.
– Pressing  [Contact]  to display the contact list screen.
• Make sure that peripheral devices (e.g., display, main video camera) are turned on.
• If a called party does not answer a video conference call within approximately 60 seconds, the call will
be terminated automatically.
• If you are using the KX-VC300, 3-party/4-party video conference calls can only be made after
purchasing an activation key card (KX-VCS301) to activate multiple-party video conference calls
(Page 117). For details about the activation key, contact your dealer.
• 2-party/3-party/4-party video conference calls can be made using the outgoing call history.
• Only 2-party video conference calls can be made using the incoming call history.
• You cannot add parties to an existing video conference call.
• During a 3-party/4-party video conference call, even if only one party ends the video conference call,
the rest of the parties will also be disconnected.
• A video conference call will start with only the parties that answered the call. For example, if only one
party answers a 4-party video conference call, the video conference call will start as a 2-party video
conference call.
• 3-party/4-party video conference calls may not be possible depending on bandwidth settings
(Page 95, Page 121).
• Video conference calls can be made using a SIP URI through a SIP server only when in IP Mode and
if SIP settings have been made correctly.
• Video conference calls can be made using an H.323 extension or H.323 name only when in IP Mode
and if the gatekeeper settings have been made correctly.
• Video conference calls cannot be made if the call type programmed in the speed dial (SIP or H.323)
has been set to  "OFF" on the call type settings screen.
• When connecting to non-Panasonic video conference systems or using H.323, you can make only
2-party video conference calls.
