will ring once, then give a triple alert tone which lets you know that your phone has automatically
answered the intercom call on speakerphone. You may respond to the call simply by speaking
towards your telephone.

repeatedly with the intercom ring. You may respond to the call by lifting the handset or pressing the
SPEAKER button.
