Turning Privacy on or off for a call

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.

Only two Norstar system telephones in addition to the external caller can take part in this kind of conference.

Making a call private

If a line is programmed to not have privacy, you can turn privacy on for a call, preventing other people with the same line from joining your conversation.
