Remote-in-Use Icon
The remote-in-use icon appears when another phone that shares your line has a connected call. You can
place and receive calls as usual on the shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.
Call Information and Barge
Phones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the shared line.
This information may include caller ID and call duration. See Privacy, on page 44 for exceptions.
If you are sharing a line with coworkers using a different model Cisco Unified IP Phone, they might be able
to add (or barge) themselves to your active call on the shared line. Your phone does not typically support this
feature. If you need it, contact your system administrator for assistance. Otherwise, enable privacy to prevent
coworkers from joining your calls.
Privacy
If you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the Privacy
feature. Doing this also prevents others who share the line from viewing or barging your calls.
Shared Line Information
You can view information about calls on your shared lines, retrieve a call on a shared line placed on hold by
a coworker, and prevent others from barging calls.

Tips
•
If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can place and receive calls using the shared
line as usual.
•
The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared
lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers cannot view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.
