Place a Priority (Precedence) Call

In some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you might need to make and receive urgent or critical

calls. If you need this specialized call handling, your system administrator can add Multilevel Precedence and Preemption

(MLPP) to your phone.

Keep these terms in mind:

• Precedence indicates the priority associated with a call.

• Preemption is the process of ending an existing, lower priority call while accepting a higher priority call that is sent to your

phone.

Priority Level of an MLPP Call

To see the priority level of an MLPP call, look for an MLPP icon on your phone screen:
