50 / Answering calls

When another telephone joins a call, the participants on the call hear a tone, and a message appears on the Norstar 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.

1.Press ƒ°‹.

2.Tell the other person to press the line button and join your conversation.

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

Making a call private

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