   Instructions
  When using your free live conference call number you must notify your callers by giving them the date, time, dial-in number and access code.

Host: When prompted, enter the assigned access code, followed by the * key.

Participant: When prompted, enter the assigned access code, followed by the # key.
Once connected to the live conference, every caller will be able to talk. Every caller will also have access to the touch tone commands listed below.

Recording Instructions
During the free live conference, the host can start recording at any time by pressing 9. The system disconnects him/her from the free live conference and prompts for the Subscriber PIN. If the Subscriber PIN is valid, the host is returned to the conference and all attendees are notified that the recording option has been started. To stop the recording, the host will press 9 again.

Play Back Instructions
To listen to the recorded conference, the host must provide attendees with the play back number and access code. Please note, this number is different from the conference dial-in number. When users call into the recording playback number, they will be prompted to enter the access code. Once confirmed, the system will play back the recorded conference. During play back, the user can scroll forward or backwards through the recorded conference. You will find the play back features below.
