5 About the Doorphone The Doorphone is connected to a Norstar telephone port and used as an extension or to control access to your building. Pressing the Call key of the Doorphone may call one or more telephones and/or send a distinctive chime to all telephones programmed into a page zone. Placing an extension call from any telephone on the system to the Doorphone sets up a two-way voice path. Additionally, optional products can be installed to permit the activation of electric locks on doors or gates. For more information, contact your Advice Line.

If more than one Doorphone is installed on your system, each one can be programmed to call any telephone. The chime If the Doorphone call is not answered within the programmed number of rings, you will hear a page tone followed by a distinctive chime.
