Making Calls from Cordless Handset
"Public" Feature Key
A feature key is available in the feature list for the user to press, to toggle between the
"Private" and "Public" modes for a call. Pressing the Public feature key in the
feature list anytime during a call, puts the call into the public call mode. When the
call is in public call mode, the triangle indicator lights in front of the Public label in
the feature list. This also causes that feature key to appear on an available softkey but
with a different label – Private. The user can then press the Private softkey to toggle
the call back to private, or he can navigate into the feature list and press the Public
feature key.
Either way, the triangle indicator clears and the call goes back to Private mode. The
following illustrations show the handset screens during public and private calling.
In the figure above, the left screen depicts a call that is public. The user can press the
Private softkey at any time to make the call private – i.e. no extensions allowed to
join. In the right screen, the right pointing triangle indicates the current call is in
public mode. The user could also select this feature key to return the call to private.
Ending Calls
• To end a call, you first need to connect to the call, if not already connected,
and press the N key.
• You can also place the handset back on the charging cradle to end the call.
Note: Any local caller on the call can convert the call. For instance, if one
cordless caller is on an external call, he can press the "Public" feature
key to make the call public. At that point up to three other handsets can
join in on the call. If any of those joining handsets presses the "Private"
soft key, then the call is made private and no other users can join the call
unless the call was made public again.
