Telephone base operation
Intercom
54
You can use the intercom feature for conversations between the telephone
base and an accessory device, or between two accessory devices. When the
system is on one or more external calls, accessory devices can make intercom
calls with each other. If you have a cordless headset, it can only receive
intercom calls.
Each device that is registered to the telephone base is assigned an extension.
Extension numbers are assigned in sequential order (0-9) as they are added.
If you register a cordless headset, it is always assigned extension number 0.
See pages 10-12 for information on adding and registering devices to your
telephone base.
NOTE:
A telephone base connected to AC power but not to any telephone lines can still
make intercom calls with charged and registered accessory cordless accessory.
