Privacy (F07)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
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 Procedures
■ 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.
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.

on.
