Privacy (F07)
Description
This feature lets system phone users press a programmed button to turn Privacy
on and off, preventing or allowing other users to join calls at the user’s extension
as needed.
Related Features
If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned for an extension, that
extension normally is private. However, if a user sometimes needs to have
co-workers join conversations, the user can program a Privacy button to turn
Privacy on and off as needed. Once a Privacy button is programmed, the
user must use the button to turn Privacy on and off even though Automatic
Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned.
Privacy applies to active calls—any user can retrieve a held call unless the
call is placed on hold with Exclusive Hold.
If you have Caller ID, you can use Privacy at your extension to prevent other
users from joining your call and from accessing the Caller ID information
displayed for active calls at your extension.
Considerations
Privacy must be programmed on a button with lights. (Users cannot dial the
Privacy code manually, or use a programmed button without lights, to
activate this feature.) When Privacy is on, the button light at the extension is
also on, indicating that others cannot join calls.
Privacy can be turned on and off at any time, even during a call.
This feature is available only on system phones.
