MLX Display Label: Privacy [Prvcy]
Privacy is used when an outside line or System Access button (Hybrid/PBX only)
is assigned to a button on more than one telephone. The feature allows a user to
prevent other people from accidentally or intentionally connecting to a call on
the shared outside line or Shared System Access button. When a user activates
Privacy by using a programmed button or dialing a feature code, other people
selecting that line hear silence instead of being connected to the call. In
addition, Privacy prevents other users from using Barge-In to interrupt a call.
QCC system operators cannot use Privacy.
On all other multiline telephones, Privacy can be activated while a call is in
progress, or before making or receiving a call. Privacy remains active until
canceled.
A multiline telephone user activates Privacy by pressing a programmed Privacy
button (the green LED goes on) or by pressing the Feature button and
dialing 31.
To cancel Privacy, the user either presses the programmed Privacy button (the
green LED goes off) or presses the Feature button and dials *31.
Privacy can be activated while a call is in progress, or before making or
receiving a call. Privacy remains active until canceled.
A single-line telephone user activates Privacy while a call is in progress by
pressing and releasing the Recall button or switchhook and dialing #31. To
return to the call, the user presses and releases the Recall button or switchhook
again. To activate Privacy before making or receiving a call, the user lifts the
handset (while listening to internal dial tone) and dials #31, then hangs up.
To cancel Privacy while a call is in progress, the user presses and releases the
Recall button or switchhook and dials #*31. To return to the call, the user
presses and releases the Recall button or switchhook again. To cancel Privacy
before making or receiving a call, the user lifts the handset (while listening to
internal dial tone) and dials #*31, then hangs up.
