Tips

•If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the shared line as usual.

•The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers cannot view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.

•If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and it is configured with Private Line Automated Ringdown (PLAR), the barge and cBarge features will still be available.

•You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.
