INTERCOM OPERATION

This intercom features both a single-phone page and a system-wide page. A single-phone page alerts only one phone; a system-wide page alerts all phones. Any phone with the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature activated will not receive a page.

An intercom call rings at the extension called with a repeating double-ring pattern.

A single-phone page automatically activates the speakerphone on the receiving phone. You can deactivate the speakerphone by lifting the handset.

NOTE: If a line is in use, pressing Ior pwill place the line on hold and activate the intercom.
