Using the Intercom
Here are some general things you need to know about using the intercom:
Whenever the phone is in standby, you can make an intercom call
between handsets without using the phone line.
You can make an intercom call from any handset, but only two handsets
can be in an intercom call at any time.
If an outside call comes in during an intercom call, the phone displays
the Caller ID information. If the other handset hasn't answered the
page, the phone cancels the page so you can answer the incoming call.
Follow these steps...
