Timer
When you make or answer a call, the timer automatically starts. The screen
displays the elapsed time in minutes and seconds for the first hour (up to
59:59) and then begins again. The timer stops automatically when you
hang up and the recorded time is displayed for about 10 seconds.
The timer also stops when you place a call on hold and resets when you
release hold.
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. If this extension is programmed
with D-TAD Intercept On (see “Turn D-TAD Intercept On or Off” in SET UP
SYSTEM FEATURES), other 964 extensions can pick up on any call routed
to this extension’s answering system (D-TAD).
NOTE: When you make a call, the phone selects the Prime Line you
programmed. When you answer a call, the phone automatically selects
the ringing line. If you have a private line, the phone automatically
selects that line.
