Using the Privacy feature
Press FEATURE 83 to change the privacy setting on the line.
• If a line normally has privacy, this permits another telephone, which shares the line, to join
your call by selecting the line while you are using it.
• If a line normally has privacy disabled, this prevents another telephone, which shares the line
from joining your call by selecting the line while you are using it.
• The privacy setting is re-established when you end your call, or when you enter the Privacy
feature code again.
When another telephone joins a call on a non-private line, the participants on the call hear a tone,
and a message appears on the display.
Note: Privacy control cannot be used for internal or conference calls.
