Privacy release does not apply if a station which has "Conference" and "Privacy Released" in its Class of Service, is included in the call, unless that station user has activated the "Call Privacy" feature.
The feature cannot be selected when:
any user in the call has another call on consultation hold,
one of the parties in the call is an attendant or a non-busy extension,
the set is in display, select features or add held mode,
all members of the key system group are involved in the call,
