What Does it Do?
Intercom feature allows a subscriber with multiple telephone extensions on their phone line to either call other extensions or transfer an incoming call between extensions. For example, this service might be used when a subscriber wishes to contact an extension in another building some distance away from the base phone.
How Do I Use It?
To call another extension:
- Pick up an extension and dial your own phone number.
- When you hear the busy tone, hang up.
- All the extensions will start ringing. Do not answer; wait for the other extension to pick up.
- When one extension picks up, the others will stop ringing. Pick up your extension and you will be connected to the other party.
- If no one answers on another extension, the extensions will stop ringing after a timeout period. Pick up your extension and you will hear the normal dial tone.
To transfer an incoming call to another extension:
- While connected to the caller, press FLASH or LINK and hang up.
- All the extensions will start ringing. Do not answer; wait for the other extension to pick up.
- When the other extension picks up, the extensions stop ringing. The other party is connected to the transferred call.
- If no one answers on another extension, the extensions will stop ringing after a timeout period. The caller will be cut off. If you then pick up your extension, you will hear the normal dial tone.
