2.2 Answering Intercom Calls
Your station receives intercom calls in one of two ways depending 
upon system programming. In a voice-first setting, a short tone is fol-
lowed by the caller’s voice heard on the speaker. With a tone-first 
setting, the telephone rings in a distinctive pattern and the user of the 
receiving station must take action to answer.
As with an outside call, your LCD screen displays the extension 
number of the incoming call (e.g., Ext 321) and any caller ID infor-
mation that your station is programmed to receive.
When you hear an intercom tone followed by a caller’s voice, speak 
toward the telephone to answer, or lift handset if privacy is desired.
When you hear intercom ringing (two short bursts),
1. Press INTERCOM or select ANS.
2. Speak toward telephone or lift 
handset if privacy is desired.
3. Select DND if you do not wish to 
answer the call at this time.
Note: For more information on setting DND at your station, see 
Section 7.3, Do Not Disturb Condition.
