INTERCOM OPERATION

This intercom features both a single-phone page and a system-wide page.
A single-phone page alerts only one phone; a system-wide page alerts all
phones. Any phone with the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature activated will
not receive a page.

An intercom call rings at the extension called with a repeating
double-ring pattern.

A single-phone page automatically activates the speakerphone on the
receiving phone. You can deactivate the speakerphone by lifting the
handset.

NOTE: If a line is in use, pressing

I or p will place the line

on hold and activate the intercom.
