Tips
•If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys
will not appear on the other phones that share the line.
•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.
Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call
If you share a phone line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from
viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.
Add yourself to a call
on a shared line using
the Barge softkey
1. Highlight a remote-in-use call.
2. Press Barge. (You may need to press the more softkey to display Barge.)
Other parties hear a beep tone announcing your presence.
Add yourself to a call
on a shared line using
the cBarge softkey
1. Highlight a remote-in-use call.
2. Press cBarge. (You may need to press the more softkey to display
cBarge.)
Other parties hear a tone and brief audio interruption, and call
information changes on the phone screen.
Add new conference
participants to a call
that you have barged
Barge the call using cBarge, if available.
Unlike Barge, cBarge converts the call into a standard (ad hoc) conference
call, allowing you to add new participants. See Making Conference Calls,
page 31.
Leave a barged call Hang up.
If you hang up after using Barge, the remaining parties hear a disconnect
tone and the original call continues.
If you hang up after using cBarge, the call remains a conference call
(provided at least three participants remain on the line).
