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. Automatic Extension
Privacy (#304) is appropriate for use with standard phones.
■ Privacy applies to active calls—any user can retrieve a held call unless the
call is placed on hold with Exclusive Hold.
■ If you have Caller ID, you can use Privacy at your extension to prevent
other users from joining your call and from accessing the Caller ID
information displayed for active calls at your extension.
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.
■ Users cannot join calls using pool buttons regardless of the Automatic
Extension Privacy setting or the state of the Privacy Button.
