User`s guide

Your EP4300 telephone will allow you to make an intercom call to another station,

even if that station is busy on an outside call. Your voice will be heard through the

speaker of the called station without interrupting their call in progress.

Note: If the station you are calling is busy on the speakerphone or has blocked Off

Hook Voice Announcements, you will still be able to alert the station with a single

ring, but you will not be able to make your voice announcement.

You may respond to an Off Hook Voice Announcement by pressing the flashing

INTERCOM button. You will be connected to the other station on the intercom, and

the outside call will automatically be placed on hold. When you wish to return to

the outside call, press its LINE button, and the intercom call will be disconnected.

ery room or home office where there are children present.
