4. Press Enter or OK to immediately start dialing the priority call to that extension,

Interrupting a call with a whisper page
About this task
Use the Whisper Page feature to interrupt or
“barge in” on another user's call and make an
announcement. This feature is unique because only the person on the paged extension can
hear the page. Other parties on the call cannot hear the page, and the person who makes the
page cannot hear anyone on the call. If the paged user has a display telephone, the paged
user can see your caller ID. For example, users A and B are on a call. You have an urgent
message for user A and make a whisper page. All three users hear the tone that signals the
page, but only user A hears the page itself. You cannot hear user B.
Procedure
1. Scroll right from the Phone screen to access the Features menu.
2. If necessary, scroll down to Whisper Page and press OK or just press the
corresponding line button.
3. Enter the extension you want to call.
4. Press Enter or OK to immediately start dialing and deliver your message when the
person you called answers.
Visual alert for an encrypted call
Using
your Deskphone, you can now see whether an incoming or an outgoing call is encrypted.
The secure status is indicated by the secure icon, a padlock, on the call status line.
Note:
Only the connection to and from the phone instrument is encrypted. This encryption may not
extend
beyond the call server. For 9608/9608G deskphones, if you have set the screen width
of your deskphone to half, the deskphone does not show the secure icon.
