2.2 Answering Intercom Calls
An intercom call is one that is made from one system telephone to
another. An intercom party can voice-announce through your speaker
instead of ringing your telephone, or an intercom party can ring your
telephone (intercom ringing sounds two short ring bursts).
You can block voice-announce calls if you wish. See the discussion titled
Blocking Voice Announce Calls for details.

1. Speak toward the telephone to answer, or lift handset if privacy is
desired.

privacy is desired.
When an intercom call rings at your station, the number or name of the

• To answer the call for which information appears in your display,
1. Press ANS. (Pressing DND stops the ringing, sets a Do Not
Disturb condition at your telephone, and sends a DND tone to the
caller. The intercom light continues to flash).
