Switching between lines
Use this feature to switch between lines during an 
outside call:
1. Press and release 
[HOLD] to maintain the 
connection to the call on the active line.
2. Press and release the 
LINE button of another 
line to make or answer another call.
3. To return to the first call, press
 [HOLD] to put 
the current call on hold. Then press the [LINE] 
button of the original line.
Call privacy
Use this feature to control call privacy. To ensure 
call privacy, this phone enables only one set at a 
time to use a line.
Cancel call privacy
During the call, press the [LINE] button for the 
call. You’ll hear a short beep. Others can now join 
the call by pressing the appropriate line button.
Restore call privacy
Press the [LINE] button again during the call. 
You’ll hear a double-beep. The other phones drop 
from the call.
 NOTES:
•  Call privacy is automatically restored when you 
end a call.
•  When a non-system phone answers a call, 
any other system phone can pick up the call 
by pressing the [LINE] button. Once a system 
phone picks up the call, call privacy is activated 
and no other system phones can listen to the 
call unless call privacy is canceled, but non-sys-
tem phones that share that line can still join the 
call.
