Additional Feature Information

Outside Calls on INTERCOM Buttons
Features and operations that would normally require a line button can use the INTERCOM
button instead. The INTERCOM button can act as a line button for a call if no button exists
for that line on that telephone. This means not only that you may use the INTERCOM button
to access a line for which you have no button, BUT ALSO that incoming calls will ring in on
the INTERCOM button and may be answered in the normal way. The indicator light for
the INTERCOM button will act like the line button indicator light, except during held calls
(see Indicator Light Patterns in the User Manual).
Following are a few differences which may occur when you are using an INTERCOM button in
place of a line button:
If you hang up on such a call, the INTERCOM light will go out even if another person is still
on the call.
If you place the call on hold, the indicator light will show the I HOLD pattern unless the line
is still in use by another person. If the line is still in use after you place it on hold, the
indicator light will show the THEY USE pattern; for example, a line might still be in use if
someone else had bridged onto the call.
If you place the call on hold and the call is taken off hold at another telephone or another
SPIRIT set was already on the call, you may not be able to rejoin the call if Privacy is on. If
this occurs, that INTERCOM button and indicator light will be unavailable to you until the
call is hung up.
An outside call on an INTERCOM button leaves only one button left for intercom calls or
other features accessed by pressing INTERCOM, an important consideration if you are
planning a conference with more than one intercom extension.
You may program into a SpeedCall location the code sequence (8 plus the line number desired)
for dialing an outside number on a line not assigned to a line button. You may, if you want,
include the telephone number if you want to use this feature for a specific outgoing call only.
INTERCOM Indicator Lights
The indicator lights next to the INTERCOM buttons show what is happening on intercom calls
or outside calls on the INTERCOM button at that telephone:
I USE flashes a long ON and short OFF.
I HOLD flashes a short ON and long OFF.
Incoming alert flashes an even ON and OFF.
If the light is OFF, that INTERCOM button is idle
A graphic description of light patterns is shown in the User Manual.
Intercom Extension Indicator Lights
Intercom Extension buttons, whether on the station adjunct or programmed for that use on a
telephone, have indicator lights that show what is happening on that telephone.
If the light is OFF the telephone is idle.
If the light in ON, the telephone is busy.
If the light is FLASHING rapidly, the telephone is the source of an incoming intercom call
or group page to your telephone, returning a transferred call to your telephone, or manually
signaling your telephone,
If the light is FLASHING slowly, that telephone is receiving an intercom call that you may
answer by using the call pickup procedure described in the User Manual.
Intercom extension indicator lights do not flash for transferred calls.
Conference
A maximum of four telephones may be conferenced; only three of these may be SPIRIT
telephones. The total of four must include any telephones bridged onto the conference.
The originator of a conference call is the person who makes the initial conference. If the
originator hangs up, the call is disconnected. Only the originator can add or drop other people.
If one of the other telephones in a conference call is an intercom extension, the originator can
leave the conference call without disconnecting the other people by placing it on hold. The
