Description
This feature is available only on MLS-18D, MLS-12D, and MLS-12 phones.
This calling feature lets users with MLS-18D, MLS-12D, and MLS-12 phones
press the calling feature button, [ Privacy ], to turn Privacy on and off, preventing
other users from joining calls at the user’s extension.
Related Procedures

If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is assigned for an extension, that
extension normally will be private. However, if a user sometimes needs to
have other co-workers join conversations, the user can press [ Privacy ] to turn
Privacy on and off as needed.
To have Privacy on MLS-6, MLC-6, MDC 9000, MDW 9000, standard
phones, or other devices (such as a fax or modem), you must use
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304).
Considerations
■
When Privacy is on, the light next to [ Privacy ] at the extension is also on,
indicating that others cannot join calls.
■
This feature can be turned on and off at any time, even during a call.
Using
Press [ Privacy ] to turn the feature on; press it again to turn the feature off.
Use the button like a switch—when the green light is on, Privacy is on.
