Intercom allows you to place and receive one-way calls using a dedicated or dialable intercom line.
After receiving the intercom call, the recipient can initiate two-way audio (connected mode) to allow for
further conversation.
Procedure

continues simultaneously. In whisper mode, the intercom caller cannot hear you.
Press Intercom to switch to connected mode. In connected mode, you can speak to the intercom caller.
