Using the Hands
Free Feature
You can use your phone as an intercom. You can answer
internal
(intercom) calls without picking up the handset. When you receive an
internal call, your telephone sounds a tone and activates the speaker
phone.
An external call (a call from outside your local call processor) rings to your
telephone as usual.
If your telephone is part of a bridged extension, see
Hands Free and
Bridged Line Calls
for additional information.
To enable or disable the Hands Free feature, press the
HANDS FREE
button or the
button on the phone
before
calls arrive. The red light
next to the button comes on (enabled) or goes out (disabled). You can
also enable and disable Hands Free by using Feature Code 100. See
Feature Codes
.
