Room Monitor

• Description
Room Monitor lets an extension user listen to the sounds in a co-workers area. For
example, the receptionist could listen for sounds in the warehouse when it's left
unattended. To use Room Monitor, the initiating extension and the receiving extension
must activate it.
When using System Phones for monitoring, an extension user can only Monitor one
extension at a time. However, many extensions can Monitor the same extension at the
same time.
With single line phones, multiple SLTs can be programmed to be monitored by the
same SLT. However, only one SLT can monitor another SLT at a time.

Chapter 4 - 280
The use of monitoring, recording or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor,
retrieve or record telephone conversations or other sounds activities,
whether or not contemporaneous with its transmission may be illegal in cer-
tain circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should be
sought prior to implementing any practice that monitors or records any tele-
phone conversation. The Telecommunications (Interception) Act 1979 (Cth),
The Telecommunications Act 1997, The Privacy Act 1988 and State and Ter-
ritory Listening Devices Legislation are all relevant. Some federal and state
laws require some form of notification to all parties or require the consent of
all parties to the telephone conversation, prior to monitoring or recording a
telephone conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.
Section 6 of the Industry Guidelines recommend pre-recorded messages or
verbal notification to alert callers that the calls may be monitored. Section 6
of the Industry Guidelines also make recommendations in relation to notifica-
tions in writing.
