Receiving an Incoming Call During an Intercom Call

If you receive a telephone call during an intercom call, the intercom call is immediately terminated and both handsets ring. Either handset user may press the TALK or SPEAKER button to answer the call.

Using Intercom with External Telephone Calls

During a telephone call, you may use the intercom/paging function to page another handset and have an off line, private (two-way) intercom conversation. You may also have a three-way conversation between the external caller and the handsets, or you may transfer the external telephone call to another handset.

NOTE: Before you intercom/page another handset, you must decide whether you want to create a two-way or a three-way conversation.

Two-Way Calling

NOTE: The receiving handset presses the delete/intercom/conf button to answer the intercom call. Both intercom users may speak privately. The external caller will not hear the intercom conversation.

2.When finished, press the END/cancel button or delete/intercom/conf button to end the intercom call, return to the talk mode, and resume your original telephone conversation.

Three-Way Calling
