Feature Reference
NOTE:
Some single-line telephones, such as AT&T models 2500YMGL and
2500MMGK, use a positive or timed disconnect. On these telephones, pressing
the switchhook disconnects the call. The user must use the Recall or Flash
button instead of the switchhook when turning Privacy on or off.

Privacy
Barge-In does not override Privacy.
When an MLX display telephone user turns on Privacy, the display
briefly shows the message
screen or call-handling display. When the user turns off Privacy, the
display briefly shows the message
Privacy should be turned on when headset users with Headset Auto
Answer turned on have Shared SA buttons or share one or more
personal lines. Privacy keeps the users from competing for the same
call. When two or more users try to answer the same call on a Shared
SA or personal line button, the red and green LEDs next to the button
go on, but only one person can talk with the caller.
Privacy only protects a call while the user is active on the call. Privacy
does not keep a user at another extension from picking up a call while it
is on hold.
Privacy should not be used on an MFM (unless Privacy is to stay on all
times, as at a data station), because the user does not have an LED to
indicate whether Privacy is on or off.
If Privacy is turned on at an extension, a user with a shared personal
line button for that extension cannot join a call on that button.
If Privacy is turned on while a call is in progress, it does not affect
anyone who has already joined the call but prevents other users from
joining the call.
A single-line telephone user with a Recall or Flash button can use
Recall or Flash to turn Privacy on or off during a call. The user must
press Recall or Flash and
Privacy off.
Users can program and use a Signaling button to contact a co-worker
who has turned on Privacy.
If Privacy is turned on at an extension with a Shared SA button, other
users, including the principal extension, cannot join a call on that
button.
If Privacy is turned on while a call is in progress, it does not affect
anyone who has already joined the call but prevents other users from
joining the call.
