TELEPHONE OPERATION

Call Privacy

To ensure call privacy, the phone allows only one set at a time to use a line.

Canceling Call Privacy

During the call, press the LINE button for the call. You’ll hear a short beep. Others can now join the call.

Restoring Call Privacy

Press the LINE button again during the call. You’ll hear a double-beep. The other phones will be dropped from the call.

NOTE: Call privacy is automatically restored when you end the call.

NOTE: When a non-system phone answers a call, any other system phone can pick up the call by pressing the LINE button. Once a system phone picks up the call, Call Privacy is activated and no other system phones can listen to the call unless Call Privacy is canceled, but non-system phones which share that line can still join the call.

Do Not Disturb

When your phone is off-hook (i.e., you are on a call) you will hear a low volume ring when you receive an intercom call. In order to prevent even this audible signal, activate the Do Not Disturb feature. When you activate this feature you will not hear paging tones, voice paging, or incoming call rings. Instead, the LINE light flashes and the INTERCOM light goes on

to signal an incoming call or page. If you receive an intercom call, the INTERCOM light flashes, and the intercom number calling you appears on the display.

1Press Nto prevent interruptions. The DND light goes on and the screen display includes DND.

2Press Nagain to resume normal call alerts. The DND light goes off and the screen no longer shows DND.

When this feature is activated, callers from within your phone system will hear a short repeating tone (like a fast busy signal).
