Answering Intercom Calls
When a handset is paged, it rings and the Ringer/Message Alert indicator flashes
rapidly. The display shows the calling extension.
• If the Auto Talk feature is turned on (p. 23), you can also answer a page by simply
lifting the handset off the base unit or charger (for KX-TG6502 or accessory
handset users, p. 3).
When the base unit is being paged, it rings and the LOCATOR/INTERCOM/
TRANSFER indicator flashes.
During an intercom call:
• If you have difficulty hearing while using the speakerphone on the handset or
base unit, decrease the speaker volume by pressing [d].
• If an incoming call is being received, you will hear 2 tones (incoming call tone,
p. 68) and the line button on the base unit will flash rapidly.
To answer the call;
