Tips
• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys
will not appear on the other phones that share the line.
• You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold,
transferred, or turned into a conference call.
Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call
If you share a phone line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from
viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.

Add yourself to a call
on a shared line using
the cBarge softkey

Unlike Barge, cBarge converts the call into a standard (ad hoc) conference
call, allowing you to add new conference participants. See Making
Conference Calls, page 27.
Leave a barged call Hang up.
If you hang up after using Barge, the remaining parties hear a disconnect
tone and the original call continues.
