Tips
• When you Barge a call, other parties may hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge,
other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference details.
• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys do not
appear on the other phones that share the line.
• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and is configured with Private Line Automated
Ringdown (PLAR), the Barge and cBarge features are available.
• 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.

Privacy and Shared Lines

If you share a phone line, use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from viewing or barging
(adding themselves to) your 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.
