TELEPHONE OPERATION
Call Privacy
To ensure call privacy, the phone allows only one set at a time to use a line.
Canceling Call Privacy
During the call, press the LINE button for the call. You’ll hear a short beep.
Others can now join the call.
Restoring Call Privacy
Press the LINE button again during the call. You’ll hear a double-beep.
The other phones will be dropped from the call.
NOTE: Call privacy is automatically restored when you end the call.
NOTE: When a non-system phone answers a call, any other system phone
can pick up the call by pressing the LINE button. Once a system phone
picks up the call, Call Privacy is activated and no other system phones
can listen to the call unless Call Privacy is canceled, but non-system
phones which share that line can still join the call.
Do Not Disturb
When your phone is off-hook (i.e., you are on a call) you will hear a low
volume ring when you receive an intercom call. In order to prevent even
this audible signal, activate the Do Not Disturb feature. When you activate
this feature you will not hear paging tones, voice paging, or incoming call
rings. Instead, the LINE light flashes and the INTERCOM light goes on
to signal an incoming call or page. If you receive an intercom call, the
INTERCOM light flashes, and the intercom number calling you appears on
the display.
1 Press N to prevent interruptions. The DND light goes on and
the screen display includes DND.
2 Press N again to resume normal call alerts. The DND light goes
off and the screen no longer shows DND.
When this feature is activated, callers from within your phone system will
hear a short repeating tone (like a fast busy signal).
