Advanced Intercom Features Receiving an Incoming Call During an Intercom Call If you receive a telephone call during an intercom call, an incoming call alert tone will be heard (through the earpiece or speaker). If the user wants to answer an incoming call, they must press END to terminate the intercom and receive an incoming ring. Using Intercom with External Telephone Calls During a telephone call, you may use the intercom/paging function to page another handset and have an off line, private (two-way) intercom conversation. You may also have a three-way conversation between the external caller and the handsets, or you may transfer the external telephone call to another handset. NOTE: Before you intercom/page another handset, you must decide whether you want to create a two-way or a three-way conversation. Two-Way Calling 1. During an external call, press the delete/int/conf button, and use the touch-tone pad to enter the handset number to put an external line on hold. The user may then auto intercom with the paged handset. NOTE: Both intercom users may speak privately. The external caller will not hear the intercom conversation. 2. When finished, press the END button to end the intercom call, return to the talk mode, and resume your original telephone conversation. Three-Way Calling 1. During an external call, press the delete/int/conf button. The screen displays LINE ON HOLD EXTENSION?. 2. Use the touch-tone pad to select Handset # to enter into auto intercom call with paged handset. 3. When the receiving handset connects, press the delete/int/conf button on the originating handset to conference with the receiving handset and the external caller. The screen displays CONFERENCE on the originating and receiving handsets. 28
