Is there a way to intercom directly onto the speaker ???

These directions are for the KX-TG5451, KX-TG5452 and KX-TG5453.

If you want to use the intercom feature, you need to know the handset number for the unit you want to contact. The base is zero. The handset number is set when you register the handsets. So to communicate with the base, press Intercom on the handset followed 0. The base will ring until someone presses Call to answer it (or one minute whichever comes first). (Alternatively, you can use the up/down arrows to select H1, H2, H3 or Base. Then press the right arrow key.)

To communicate between two handsets, press Intercom and then 2 (from handset 1 or 3 to connect with handset 2). Again the handset will ring for one minute or until the person with handset 2 answers. (To answer, they can press the phone, speaker or intercom button.)

If someone at the base wants to use the intercom, they need to press Select until the appropriate handset number is displayed. Then press Call.

To transfer a call, press Intercom and then select the desired handset. When the intercom message is picked up, indicate that a call is being transferred and press Off at the handset or base that initially answered the call.

For a conference call, initiate the call then press Intercom and select the handset to join the conversation. Once that person picks up, then press Conf. (I believe that Conf is a softkey so check the display.) This is only possible with the handset. (Another handset can join the conference by pressing the phone or speaker button on that unit.)

The manual for the KXTG5453 is available here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG5451S.PDF .

If you have a different model of the Panasonic 5.8 GHz phone, please add a comment with the model number and I'll try to give the directions for that unit.

I hope this helps.

Panasonic analog phones plug into analog KSU's and have extension numbers beginning with 101. In additon, you can dial 0 to reach the phone programmed as Operator, and it's usually extension 101.

With the intercom dial tone (press INTERCOM or pick up the handset or press SP PHONE) you can start dialing codes defined in your number plan. You can also program left side buttons to monitor are directly select other extensions or dial codes to page all idle speakers in a 77xx phone.

Note this is specific to TA series systems, but the operation is similar in all Panasonic models.

Is this a system phone?

It sounds as though your set is not programmed with a line appearance. and line preference is not set, this can be set for intercom, or a line or nothing when you pick up the phone. You can do a pick up code to answer until an appearance is programmed on your set.

Press an intercom button and dial the 2 digit extension number. This will ring the extension. To page the extension, press an intercom button and then * (Star) and the 2 digit extension number. This will page the phone.

We have the 25414RE, so I can tell you how ours works and hope it helps solve your problem...

You first have to assign each phone a "number". Push the menu button, and go to phone options (you scroll by pushing the review button to the left or right), choose set phone id (once you are on that option push the select/save button just above the review button) - I started with the first phone I plugged in and made it number one, and so on (we have a total of 5). Once the phone ids are established, simply push the intercom button and the corresponding number on the right speed dial/intercom numbers - it should dial the phone you want. It also has an option (again we have the 25414RE) to have the phone auto answer the intercom - so if you are paging someone in a room that isn't near the phone, or the phone is shared by several users, it picks up without anyone having to push anything. Otherwise, the phone that you are calling has to either have the handset picked up or the speaker button pushed. Hope that helps you!!

This works on a TDA, so I think it will also work on a TD. The key is 43. When you page someone, you can pick up that call via 43 which gives you an intercom call. Now, your transfer key works, putting the other intercom call on hold and giving you dial tone.

On extension 10 or 11 press Feature 00
Left intercom, left intercom, right intercom
Enter your extension number
Press line buttons until its a fast blink and display say no ring
Feature 00

only transfered calls will ring

Of course you picked the feature with conditions :-)

From the intercom 40 picks up any incoming call. 4* picks up trunk calls, and 41 plus ext number picks up a specific ringing phone.

The condition is that an extension can block call pickup by dialing 7201.. 7200 clears it.

I looked up that model and they are equipped with intercom service.
What good would an intercom function (I ask myself) without some way to ring another handset? It wouldn't make sense to have to holler for someone else to pick a handset ;-)

The phone's control layout is identical to ours (it is 2.4 gHz instead) so check the lower right-hand corner for a button perhaps marked Hold & below it 'Intercom' printed.
Using that function, you choose the station # and it will ring the remote (lost) handset until someone picks it up and presses Talk or speakerphone button. .

your receiver has zone 2 output which is operated independently of the main reciever. so you can have a dvd playing inthe main reciever and the tuner playing over the intercom. read about it in your manual page 89. in will hook up to 2 RCA jacks in the back Zone 2 out.
