Turning Privacy on or off for a call
²¡Ü
Lines in your system can be configured to have automatic
privacy. If a line is not programmed with privacy, anyone with
the line assigned to their telephone can join your call by
pressing the line button. If a line is programmed with privacy,
only one person at a time can use the line.
Privacy control cannot be used on internal or conference calls.
When another telephone joins a call, the participants on the
call hear a tone, and a message appears on the Norstar display.
You cannot join a call without this tone being heard.
Creating a conference by releasing privacy
If a line is 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 applicable to
a conference apply except there is only one line in use, instead
of the usual two. This means that you cannot split a conference
set up using Privacy.
1. Press
²¡Ü.
2. Tell the other person to press the line button and join your
conversation.
Only two Norstar or Business Series Terminal sets, in addition
to the external caller, can take part in this kind of conference.
