Answering a Call During an Intercom Conversation
If you receive a call while using the intercom, you will hear a low-volume ringing in the ear piece. Press
PHONE to tun off the intercom and connect the incoming call.
Using the Intercom During a Phone Call
This feature automatically puts a phone call on hold when you use the intercom during a phone call. When
you complete your intercom conversation, you can return to the call.
To put the call on hold and turn on the intercom, press INTCM. Then press PAGE to page someone at the
base unit. While you are using the intercom, the PHONE indicators on the handset and the base will stay lit
to show that your call has not been disconnected. The person on the other end of the phone call will not be
able to hear your intercom conversation.
To return to the call, just press PHONE. This disconnects the intercom and reconnects the call.
Handset Locator (Find)
This feature will be useful should you ever forget where you’ve left your handset.
To locate the handset easily, press PAGE/FIND on the base unit and hold it about 2 seconds, or until you
hear a second beep. This will begin a repeating page tone at the handset. Listen for the paging tone and
follow it to find the handset. Once you find it, press OFF on the handset to cancel the paging tone. You can
also cancel the FIND signal by pressing PAGE/FIND on the base.
If it is not shut off beforehand, FIND will automatically shut itself off after three minutes. If you haven’t
located the handset by then, turn FIND on again by pressing and holding PAGE/FIND on the base.
