Make and answer an intercom call
Use the intercom feature for conversations between two handsets, or a
handset and a cordless headset/speakerphone (sold separately). You can buy
additional expansion handsets (AT&T model EL50005), cordless headsets and
speakerphones (AT&T model TL80133) for this telephone base to expand your
telephone system (up to five handsets, cordless headsets or speakerphones).
1.
Press
on your handset when not in use.
•
If you have 2 handsets and no other registered
devices, your originating handset screen shows
Calling hs x. The other handset rings and its screen
shows hs x is calling.
•
If you have more than two handsets and/or cordless
headset(s)/speakerphone(s), your originating handset
screen shows Intercom to. Use the dialing keys to
select the destination device. The originating handset
screen shows Calling hs x (x represents the handset
number). The destination handset rings and its screen
shows hs x is calling.
2.
To answer the intercom call, press any dialing key
(0-9,
or #),
on the other handset. Both handset screens now
show Intercom.
3.
To end an intercom call, press
in the telephone base or charger.
notes:
•
Before the intercom call is answered, you can cancel it by pressing
your originating handset.
•
If the other handset is not answered within 100 seconds, or if the handset is in use, on a call,
or out of range, your originating handset shows Unable to call.
•
If you have four handsets, of which two handsets are on an intercom call, the other two
handsets can be used on an outside call (see Join a call in progress on page 27) or a separate
intercom call.
•
You can only use one pair of devices at a time to make intercom calls.
•
For cordless headsets and speakerphones, refer to the corresponding user's manual on how
to answer and end an intercom call.
