Turning Privacy on or off for a call
²¡Ü
Lines in your system can be configured to have automatic privacy. If a line
is not programmed with privacy, anyone with the line assigned to their
telephone can join your call by pressing the line button. If a line is
programmed with privacy, only one person at a time can use the line.
Privacy control cannot be used on internal or conference calls.
When another telephone joins a call, the participants on the call hear a tone,
and a message appears on the telephone display. You cannot join a call
without this tone being heard.
Creating a conference by releasing privacy
If a line is programmed with privacy, you can turn privacy off to allow
another person with the same line to join in your conversation and form a
conference. All the rules applicable to a conference apply except there is
only one line in use, instead of the normal two. This means that you cannot
split a conference set up using Privacy.

Making a call private
If a line is programmed to not have privacy, you can turn privacy on for a

conversation.
