Privacy should be turned on when headset users with Headset Auto
Answer turned on either 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 an SSA 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 protects a call only 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 is not available for HotLine extensions (Release 5.0 and later
systems).
Privacy should not be used on an MFM (unless Privacy is to stay on all
times, as at a data workstation) 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
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.
