Intercom
Use the intercom feature for conversations between two handsets, or a handset
and the telephone base. You can buy additional expansion handsets (model
AT&T CL80143/CL80173/CL80183/CL80193) for this telephone base to expand
your telephone system (up to 12 handsets).
Using a cordless handset:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu. Press qCID or
pDIR to scroll to Intercom, then press MENU/SELECT.
If you have one handset, the handset shows Calling base.
If you have more than one handset, the handset shows INTERCOM TO:
Use the dialing keys to enter a specific device number (0 for the telephone
base, 1-9 for handsets 1-9, TONE followed by 0-2 for handsets 10-12, or
TONE followed by
#
for all devices), or press qCID or pDIR to scroll to
the desired device and press MENU/SELECT. Your handset screen shows
Calling HANDSET X, Calling BASE 0 or Calling all devices.
The destination device(s) rings and shows HANDSET X is calling or
HANDSET X is calling all (HANDSET represents the handset name,
X represents the handset number).
2. To answer the intercom call, press PHONE/FLASH, /SPEAKER or any
dialing key (0-9, TONE ,) on the called device. Both devices now show
Intercom.

To end the intercom call, one party presses OFF/CANCEL, or places the
handset back in the telephone base or charger; or presses CANCEL on the
telephone base. The other party hears four beeps. Both devices display
Intercom ended.
