Advanced Intercom Features

Receiving an Incoming Call During an Intercom Call

If you receive a telephone call during an intercom call, the intercom call is 
immediately terminated and both handsets ring. Either handset user may press the 
TALK or SPEAKER button to answer the call.

Using Intercom with External Telephone Calls

During a telephone call, you may use the intercom/paging function to page another 
handset and have an off line, private (two-way) intercom conversation. You may also 
have a three-way conversation between the external caller and the handsets, or you 
may transfer the external telephone call to another handset.

NOTE: Before you intercom/page another handset, you must 

decide whether you want to create a two-way or a three-way 

conversation.

Two-Way Calling

1.  During an external call, press the delete/intercom/conf button, and use the  

touch-tone pad to enter the handset number you want to call.

NOTE: The receiving handset presses the delete/intercom/conf 

button to answer the intercom call. Both intercom users may speak 

privately. The external caller will not hear the intercom conversation.

.  When finished, press the END/cancel button or delete/intercom/conf button to 

end the intercom call, return to the talk mode, and resume your original telephone 
conversation.
