How to Make an Intercom Call
An intercom call, or inside call, is a call between two extensions without using
an outside line. There are two ways you can signal the extension you are
calling: by ringing or by voice.
System Phone
You can lift the handset or press [ Spkr ] before dialing, then:
1.
Press an idle [
Intercom ] button.
You hear intercom dial tone, and the light next to the [
Intercom ] button is
steady green.
2.
To ring the extension, dial the two-digit extension number, or
To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press [
] plus the
two-digit extension number and listen for one of the following responses:
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You
can speak after the beep.
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the
recipient is present, he or she can reply.
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.
Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking will
probably also hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your voice.
If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait for
a response.
If you hear ringing, you have reached a standard phone, an idle MLC-6
cordless phone, or a busy system phone with Voice Interrupt On Busy
Not Assigned. Your call is not completed until someone answers.
