The following instructions and conference etiquette are provided in order for you to make the most out of your experience with the Context Teleconference.

During The Conference

Before the Call

Please be available ten minutes before the scheduled time of the conference.

To Place the Call

Dial into the conference with the number provided a few minutes before the start time.
Be prepared to give your name, company name and the password. Entry will be by verified by password and checks on company and name supplied in your registration information.
Late callers will not be admitted after the start time.

During the Call

ALL LINES WILL BE LISTEN ONLY DURING THE PRESENTATION to eliminate background noise.
Do not put your telephone on hold - especially if you have music on hold.
Keep in mind that speakerphones are very sensitive and pick up the smallest noises - even someone typing on PCI.
Speaker microphones should be muted when not in use.

Calling from a Cellular Phone

If at all possible, do not use a cellular phone on a Teleconference call.
If necessary, try to use a cellular in a stationary place, so that the phone line does not fade while you are speaking.
Cellular phones do not always carry the security level that a host or participant may require. Cross talk as well as crossed lines can occur, allowing persons not invited into the Teleconference to hear the business discussed.

Calling from a Public Telephone

When you use a public telephone (i.e. Airport, Restaurant) check to see if they can provide you with a "quiet room" to use for the duration of the Teleconference.

Calling from Home

If possible, go into a room where you will not be disturbed and close the door to ensure that the noise will be minimal.
Try to avoid kitchens - running water is easily heard over telephone lines.
If you have children and/or pets, try to keep them quiet or at least away from the telephone you are using for the conference call.
If your home phone has a mute button, you should use it when not speaking.
