Call privacy
To ensure call privacy, this phone allows only one set
at a time to use a line.
Cancel call privacy
During the call, press the LINE button for the call.
You’ll hear a short beep. Others can now join the call.
Restore call privacy
Press the LINE button again during the call. You’ll hear
a double-beep. The other phones will be dropped from
the call.
NOTE: call privacy is automatically restored when
you end the call.
NOTE: When a non-system phone answers a call,
any other system phone can pick up the call by pressing
the LINE button. Once a system phone picks up the
call, call privacy is activated and no other system phones
can listen to the call unless call privacy is canceled, but
non-system phones which share that line can still join
the call.
Do not disturb
When you activate do not disturb (DND), you will not
hear paging tones, voice paging, or incoming call rings.
Instead, the LINE light flashes and the INTERCOM light
goes on to signal an incoming call or page. If you receive
an intercom call, the INTERCOM light flashes, and the
number of the intercom extension calling you appears on
the display.
1. Press N to prevent interruptions. The DND
light goes on and the screen display includes DND.
2. Press N again to resume normal call alerts.
The DND light goes off and the screen no longer
shows DND.
When this feature is activated, callers from within your
phone system will hear long beeps.
