Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a non-private call on a shared line using
either cBarge or Barge:
• cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. See
Calls, on page 36
• Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow you
to add new participants.

or multitouch feature.
• Single-button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (if only one call is on the line).
