The Digital Feature Telephone (DFT) or Keyset user is able to call and automatically activate and speak through the speaker of another DFT or Keyset in the same COM Group (a.k.a., an Intercom call). To make an Intercom call, the user depresses the Intercom key or dials an access code, and then dials the COM Group member number of the destination phone. The destination's speaker and microphone, if so equipped, are automatically activated.
