PRIVACY
The Privacy feature prevents anyone who shares the same line from joining in on
your calls. For example, Privacy is particularly useful if you must discuss confiden-
tial matters with a client, or if you are transmitting data to a computer and want to
prevent anyone from accidentally trying to dial out on that line (which could inter-
fere with the transmission).
Note:
If your company has one or two outside lines dedicated to an answering
machine or to a modem, the lines may have been set up as “private” when the
system was installed. If you seem to have a “dead” line, check with the Attendant to
see if you were accidentally assigned one of these privacy lines.
