2.2 Answering Intercom Calls

An intercom call is one that is made from one system telephone to another. Your station receives intercom calls in one of two ways depending upon system programming. With a tone-first setting, the telephone rings in a distinctive pattern and the user of the receiving station must take action to answer.

• When you hear intercom ringing (two short bursts),

1.PRESS INTERCOM.

2.SPEAK toward telephone OR LIFT handset if privacy is desired.

In a voice-first setting, a short tone is followed by the caller’s voice heard on the speaker. As with an incoming outside call, the LCD screen displays caller ID information and your other options for answering the call.

•When you hear an intercom tone followed by a caller’s voice,

—SPEAK toward the telephone to answer OR LIFT handset if privacy is desired.

Note: For more information on setting DND at your station, see section titled Do Not Disturb Condition on page 74.

When your system installer makes the option available to system users, you can block all voice announce intercom calls to your station if you wish. See the section titled Voice Announce Blocking on page 27.
