Making Intercom Calls

There are two methods for making intercom calls. One method causes the called telephone to ring (tone-first). The other method causes your voice to sound out at the called telephone (voice-first). Your installer can set the system to deliver either tone-first or voice-first calling.

NOTE: The following instructions assume a tone-first setting. You can change a call to voice announce signaling for that call simply by pressing the INTERCOM button again after dialing the extension number or by press- ing the DSS/BLF button again.

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

1.PRESS INTERCOM OR LIFT handset if privacy is desired. (8112N and 8212N users must lift handset.)

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

To tone call automatically,

1.PRESS DSS/BLF button (called telephone will ring). (8112N and 8212N users must lift handset first.)

NOTE: The following instructions assume a voice-first default setting. You 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/BLF button again.

To voice announce manually,

1.PRESS INTERCOM.

2.DIAL extension number.
