							7.9 Making A Call Non-Private(Privacy Release)
It is often the case that telephones will share line appearance
for one or more lines. When a person in the group uses a line
for which others have the same line appearance, the system
keeps the call private (others cannot join the conversation by
pressing the line button of the line being used). That person can
make the call non-private by pressing the preprogrammed
PRIVACY RELEASEbutton, allowing other telephones (with
line appearance for the line being used) to join the call. Privacy
returns to the line when the call is completed.
Refer to the chapter on programming for instructions on how to
program thePRIVACY RELEASEbutton.
·To release privacy from your telephone while on a call,
1. Press preprogrammedPRVCYbutton. (The light
associated with thePRVCYbutton will remain on
steady when your telephone is in a non-private mode.)
Others who wish to join the call must press the active
line button on their telephones.

access by dialing special codes. This arrangement sounds your
voice announcement through the telephone speakers. All-call
sounds the announcement through all telephones, while zone
paging sounds the announcement only through those
telephones located in a specific area. Check with your system
administrator to determine the type of paging and access
method that you should use. If your day-to-day operation
requires that you send many paging announcements, you can
program a special all-call/zone paging button to give quick
access to the feature. See the programming section of this
user’s guide for details.

unit that you access by pressing a line button or by dialing a

arrangement.

							7.13 Setting A Do Not Disturb
Condition At Your Station
This feature keeps calls from ringing at your speakerphone,
and makes your station appear busy to intercom calls. If your
installer has programmed your station to have this feature, you
can enable it as needed.
Generally, callers cannot override this feature. They hear two
quick tone bursts every two seconds when they call a telephone
that is set to the Do Not Disturb mode. However, the installer
may program some telephones with the ability to override a Do
Not Disturb condition at another telephone.
You can program a permanent Do Not Disturb button to
provide yourself with quick access to this feature if you wish.
