Tips
• If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make 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 will not be able to view or barge calls on any of
your shared lines.

phone line that is associated with a speed-dial button, call log, or directory listing on your phone. You
can place a call to this line, regardless of the BLF status. This feature does not prevent dialing.
