Making Calls from Cordless Handset
"Public" and “Private” 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.
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.
