Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)

caller’s voice over your phone’s speaker. If you leave your microphone on all
the time, you can start talking when you hear the caller, without lifting the
handset. This feature is called Hands-Free Answer on Intercom.

Voice Interrupt On Busy Calls
A voice interrupt on busy call is a special intercom call that lets you interrupt
and speak to another user who is busy on a call and who has the Voice
Interrupt On Busy (#312) feature activated. When you use Voice Interrupt on
Busy, the interrupted user hears two beeps before hearing your voice. Be
aware that the third party to whom the interrupted user is speaking will probably
hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your voice. Therefore, the message
you deliver with the interruption should be brief and discreet. If the interrupted
user wants to answer you, he or she can press a programmed Talk-Back
button—the interrupted user’s response cannot be heard by the third party in
this case.
