Make and answer an intercom call
Use the intercom feature for conversations between two handsets, or a
handset and a cordless headset/speakerphone (sold separately). You can buy
additional expansion handsets (AT&T model EL50005), cordless headsets and
speakerphones (AT&T model TL80133) for this telephone base to expand your
telephone system (up to five handsets, cordless headsets or speakerphones).
Press
on your handset when not in use.
If you have 2 handsets and no other registered
devices, your originating handset screen shows

shows

If you have more than two handsets and/or cordless
headset(s)/speakerphone(s), your originating handset
screen shows

or out of range, your originating handset shows

If you have four handsets, of which two handsets are on an intercom call, the other two
handsets can be used on an outside call (see

intercom call.
You can only use one pair of devices at a time to make intercom calls.
For cordless headsets and speakerphones, refer to the corresponding user’s manual on how
