Using Intercom and Paging

43-463.fm Page 20 Friday, August 13, 1999 9:06 AM

You can call other stations connected to the same phone lines using either the in- tercom or paging feature.

Using the Speakerphone’s intercom fea- ture is like making a telephone call to another station. You can have a two- way conversation when the called sta- tion answers.

Using the Speakerphone’s paging fea- ture is like making public address (PA) announcements. You can announce your message directly to one or all of the stations instead of making the stations ring.

•If no station answers, your page is like making a one-way call.

•When a station answers, your page changes into an intercom call.

MAKING AN INTERCOM CALL

Before you make an intercom call, check the intercom status indicator to be sure no one else is using the intercom.

Indicator	Status


Off	Not in use

On steadily	In use by another sta-
	tion

Flashes rapidly	Receiving an intercom
	call

Flashes twice	In use/Making an
every 2 seconds	intercom call

1.To use the intercom with the speak- erphone, press INTERCOM. INTER- COM flashes and the speakerphone turns on and sounds a steady tone.

To use the intercom with the hand- set, lift the handset, then press IN- TERCOM. INTERCOM flashes and you hear a steady tone.

2.Within 10 seconds, enter the exten- sion number (11–22) for the station you want to call. That station’s inter- com indicator blinks rapidly, and that station sounds a double ring.

Notes:

•If the called party does not answer your intercom call, you can change the intercom call to a page to that station by pressing

PAGE.

•If you do not dial the extension number within 10 seconds after pressing INTERCOM, the tele- phone sounds two rings and you must redial.

•You can use the upper memory position buttons to dial extensions 11–20. For example, press the first position button to automati- cally dial extension 11, the next button to automatically dial exten- sion 12, and so on.
