Making Intercom Calls

You can dial an intercom extension manually from the dial pad or
automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button that you have
previously programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom
call. One causes the called telephone to ring. The other causes your voice
to sound out at the called telephone. Your installer can set the system to
deliver either tone-first or voice-first calling.
Keep in mind that whatever the system setting, a called party can set a
voice announce block condition at his or her telephone to prevent all
voice announce calls. Furthermore, if he or she blocks voice announce,
the system also blocks SOHVA calls.
(The following instructions assume a tone-first setting. Any user can
change a call to voice announce signaling by pressing the INTERCOM
or DSS button again after dialing the extension number—unless the
called station has voice announce block enabled.)
• To manually place an intercom call,
1. Press INTERCOM.
2. Dial extension number.
• To place an intercom call automatically,
1. Press DSS button.
Some systems will be arranged so that certain stations have a hot line
feature. If your station is so arranged, every time you lift the handset,
your LCD speakerphone will automatically ring a preselected station
(programmed by the installer). To make an intercom call to a station
other than this hot line station, or to make a call on an outside line, you
must press an intercom or line button before you lift the handset; then
you can dial the number.
