Privacy (F07)

Description

This feature lets system phone users press a programmed button to turn Privacy on and off, preventing or allowing other users to join calls at the user’s extension as needed.

Related Features

■If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned for an extension, that extension normally is private. However, if a user sometimes needs to have co-workers join conversations, the user can program a Privacy button to turn Privacy on and off as needed. Once a Privacy button is programmed, the user must use the button to turn Privacy on and off even though Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned.

■Privacy applies to active calls—any user can retrieve a held call unless the call is placed on hold with Exclusive Hold.

■If you have Caller ID, you can use Privacy at your extension to prevent other users from joining your call and from accessing the Caller ID information displayed for active calls at your extension.

Considerations

■Privacy must be programmed on a button with lights. (Users cannot dial the Privacy code manually, or use a programmed button without lights, to activate this feature.) When Privacy is on, the button light at the extension is also on, indicating that others cannot join calls.

■Privacy can be turned on and off at any time, even during a call.

■This feature is available only on system phones.
