If you would like to use the intercom to have a private conversation with someone – for example, with a person who has just paged you over the loudspeaker – pick up any CENPA phone and wait for a dial tone. Then press the ICom button, followed by the intercom number (for example, 32). The telephone connected to intercom 32 will ring, allowing a private conversation with the person at the other end. Dialing someone's intercom will not result in a CENPA-wide announcement over the loudspeakers.
