USING INTERCOM AND PAGING
You can call other stations connected to
the same phone lines using either the in-
tercom or paging feature.
Using the Speakerphone’s intercom fea-
ture is like making a telephone call to
another station. You can have a two-
way conversation when the called sta-
tion answers.
Using the Speakerphone’s paging fea-
ture is like making public address (PA)
announcements. You can announce
your message directly to one or all of the
stations instead of making the stations
ring.
• If no station answers, your page is
like making a one-way call.
• When a station answers, your page
changes into an intercom call.
MAKING AN INTERCOM
CALL
Before you make an intercom call, check
the intercom status indicator to be sure
no one else is using the intercom.
1. To use the intercom with the speak-
erphone, press INTERCOM . INTER-
COM flashes and the speakerphone
turns on and sounds a steady tone.
To use the intercom with the hand-
set, lift the handset, then press
IN-
TERCOM . INTERCOM flashes and
you hear a steady tone.
2. Within 10 seconds, enter the exten-
sion number ( 11 – 22 ) for the station
you want to call. That station’s inter-
com indicator blinks rapidly, and that
station sounds a double ring.
Notes:
• If the called party does not
answer your intercom call, you
can change the intercom call to a
page to that station by pressing
PAGE .
• If you do not dial the extension
number within 10 seconds after
pressing
INTERCOM , the tele-
phone sounds two rings and you
must redial.
• You can use the upper memory
position buttons to dial extensions
11–20. For example, press the
first position button to automati-
cally dial extension 11, the next
button to automatically dial exten-
sion 12, and so on.
