When you go off-hook at your cordless tele-
phone, you will hear the internal dial tone.
You may then place an intercom call to any other
system telephone.
Simply dial “
*
”, followed by the number of the
station you wish to intercom.
Note: If the intercom line is currently in use or
the called extension is set to DO NOT DISTURB,
you will not be able to place the intercom call.
Please also note that when you go off-hook at
your cordless telephone, you will hear the inter-
nal dial tone whether or not the intercom is cur-
rently in use.
When your cordless telephone is ringing
because someone is calling you on the intercom,
you may answer the intercom call by simply
going off-hook exactly the same as if you were
answering a call ringing on an outside line.
You will automatically be connected to the ring-
ing intercom call.
