Telephone Features Programming Guide
Create a conference call by releasing privacy
With a line programmed with privacy, you can turn privacy off to allow another person with the
same line to join in your conversation and form a conference. All the rules for a conference apply
but there is one line in use, instead of the normal two. This means that you cannot split a
conference set up using Privacy.
1 Press ≤°‹.
2 Tell the other person to press the line button and join your conversation.
Only two Business Communications Manager telephones and the external caller can take part in
this kind of conference.
Make a call private
With a line programmed not to have privacy, you can turn privacy on for a call, preventing other
people with the same line from joining.
Press ≤°‹ to make a private call.
Handsfree and Mute
You must assign the ability to use Handsfree to on or off for each telephone. Also program the type
of Handsfree. See
“Change Handsfree for a telephone” on page 115 . You must also turn on
Handsfree for a telephone to use a headset.
Answer calls without lifting the handset
1 Press the line button for the ringing call.
2 Press the handsfree button. The internal microphone and speaker in the telephone
automatically turn on.
Handsfree is not available for T7100/M7100(N), NetVision, T7406, or Companion telephones.
None of these telephones have buttons or speakers to support this feature.
Note: T7406 handsets must have the Handsfree set to ON or the telephone will not work.
NetVision telephones do not use this feature.
Note: Direct your voice toward the telephone. The nearer you are to the telephone, the
easier it is for the microphone to transmit your voice to your listener.
