Shared Lines Appearances 
Your phone can be configured to display secondary “lines” 
for other user’s extensions.

A shared line is indicated by a black and gray telephone 
icon. A private line is indicated by a solid black telephone 
icon. The shared line icon changes to a moving icon when 
the shared line is in use.

causes both phones to ring. You can answer a call or pick up 
a call on hold on a shared line by pressing the line button. A

shared lines can be transferred, put on hold, or added to a
