Making Calls

4.7 Making Intercom Calls

You can dial an intercom call manually from the keypad or automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button that you have previously programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom call: one causes your voice to sound out at the called telephone and the other causes the called telephone to ring. Your system programmer can set the system to deliver either tone-first or voice-first calling, although all systems have tone-first as the default condition.

Keep in mind that whatever the system setting is, a called party can set a voice announce block condition at his or her telephone to prevent all voice announce calls.

(The following instructions assume a tone-first default setting. Any user can change a call to voice signaling for that call simply by pressing the INTERCOM button again after dialing the extension number or by pressing the DSS button again.)

∙To manually cause the other telephone to ring (tone calling),

1.Press INTERCOM.

2.Dial extension number (called telephone will ring).

∙To tone call automatically,

1.Press DSS button (called telephone will ring).

(The following instructions assume a voice-first default setting. Any user can change a call to a tone signaling for that call simply by pressing the INTERCOM button again after dialing the extension number or by pressing the DSS button again.)

∙To voice call manually,

1.Press INTERCOM.

2.Dial extension number.

3.Speak your announcement.

∙To voice call automatically,
