Monitor / Silent Monitor

Description

Monitor lets an extension user listen to the conversation at a busy extension. To implement Monitor, an extension user just calls a busy extension and dials the Monitor code. The busy extension and their caller have no indication of the intrusion. There are no tones heard and there is no visual indication that monitoring is occurring. For example, Monitor could help the supervisor of a service department. The department supervisor could listen to the questions that callers ask without disturbing the service call.

CAUTION
Monitor provides no warning tones prior to intrusion. Monitor may be interpreted as an invasion of privacy.
