Intercom calls

Intercom calls

The intercom allows conversation between the handset and base, or between handsets if you have registered additional handsets for use with your system.

Press the INTERCOM button at a handset or at the base. Scroll down to select a station, or select GLOBAL PAGE to page all stations. Press OK to page the selected station.

At a handset, press PHONE to answer an intercom page. At the base, the phone will ring once, then answer the intercom page automatically.

When your intercom call is finished, press OFF at the handset (or INTERCOM at the base) to end the call.

Handling incoming calls

The phone will beep if you receive an outside call during an intercom conversation. You have two options:

Ring silencing

Press OFF while the phone is ringing to silence the ringer. You can still answer, or let the caller leave a message.

3-way conference calls

During an outside call, you can use both the handset and base (or two local handsets) to allow a three-way conversation.

While a call is in progress, others can press PHONE or SPEAKER to join the conference call. Others can press OFF (or SPEAKER) to drop out of the conference call, but the call will not be terminated until all sets hang up.

Temporary tone dialing

If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can switch to touch tone dialing during a call by pressing *. This can be useful if you need to send tone signals for access to answering systems or long-distance services.
