Whisper Intercom
The Whisper Intercom feature allows the user to make an intercom call to a busy extension. The recipient can hear the caller or
hear the whisper intercom, and the original caller on the receiving phone can not hear the whisper intercom. The phone receiving
a whisper intercom displays the extension and name of the party initiating the whisper intercom and a zipzip tone is played
before the called party hears the caller's voice. The receiving party must select the intercom line button on their phone to speak
to the caller.

buttons are colored amber for one-way whisper intercom and green for two-way audio.

Place a Priority (Precedence) Call
In some specialized environments, such as military or government offices, you might need to make and receive urgent or critical
calls. If you need this specialized call handling, your system administrator can add Multilevel Precedence and Preemption
(MLPP) to your phone.
Keep these terms in mind:
• Pr
ecedence indicates the priority associated with a call.
• Pr
eemption is the process of ending an existing, lower priority call while accepting a higher priority call that is sent to your
phone.
Priority Level of an MLPP Call
To see the priority level of an MLPP call, look for an MLPP icon on your phone screen:
