Storing and Calling Emergency Numbers

When storing an emergency number (such as 911) into memory or making a test call to an emergency number stored in memory, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Only do this, if necessary, in off-peak hours such as early morning or late evening.

Using the Intercom

You can use the intercom feature to talk between the handset and the base.

From either the handset or the base, press page/ intercom. If the base is being paged, the

in use/page indicator blinks. If the handset is being paged, the indicator on the top of the handset blinks.

Pressing page/intercom during a phone call places the call on hold until the unit is returned to Talk mode.

To accept the page, press page/intercom. To decline the page, press Talk or C.

To quit intercom mode and return to standby, press page/intercom again.
