Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call
If you use a shared line, you can use cBarge to join an in-progress call and convert it to a standard
conference. This gives you and all call participants the same features available in standard conferences
(see the “Making Conference Calls” section on page 26 for details), and you can add additional
participants to the call.
When you use cBarge, other parties on the call hear a tone and brief interruption in the call, and call
information changes on the screen. When you hang up, the call remains as a conference call provided
at least three participants remain.
Note You cannot use cBarge to join an in-progress call if the initiator has Privacy enabled.
Preventing Others from Viewing or Joining a Shared-Line Call
If you use a shared line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share this line from
viewing or joining your calls on this line.
Tips
• If you have Privacy enabled on a shared line and make a call, “remote-in-use” will not be displayed
on other phones that share the line; there is no indication when the line is in use.

do not see any indication that the line is in use.
