Privacy (F07)

Press a programmed button to turn Privacy on and off, preventing or allowing other users to join
calls at the your extension as needed. You can use Privacy only with a system telephone.

Considerations

Privacy must be programmed on a button with lights. (You cannot dial the Privacy code
manually or use a programmed button without lights to activate this feature.) When Privacy is
on, the button light at the extension is also on, indicating that others cannot join calls.
Privacy can be turned on and off at any time, even during a call.
Users cannot join calls by using pool buttons regardless of the Automatic Extension Privacy
setting or the state of the Privacy button.
If Automatic Extension Privacy is assigned for an extension, that extension normally is
private. However, if you need to have co-workers join conversations, you can program a
Privacy button to turn Privacy on and off as needed. Once a Privacy button is programmed,
you must use the button to turn Privacy on and off even though Automatic Extension
Privacy is assigned. Automatic Extension Privacy is appropriate for use with single-line
telephones.
Privacy applies to active calls—any user can retrieve a held call unless the call is placed on
hold with Exclusive Hold.
If you have Caller ID, you can use Privacy at your extension to prevent other users from
joining your call and from accessing the Caller ID information displayed for active calls at your
extension.
