Can I still conference with another in-house user and an external subscriber when I install this product?

Yes, two or more in-house users can still be connected to an external caller as in a conference call with this intercom system. In fact, this telephone system allows you to generate conference calls in a seamless fashion. It will  allow you to put the external caller on-hold, and make a private consultation with your in-house peer, simply by hitting a button on your keypad. You both hit the hook switch to reconnect to the external subscriber when you are done consulting with each other.

Can I remain permanently away from the phone and still attend to my calls?

Yes, in Auto-Answer Mode (available in Q-16S-S and Q-16S-P) you don't need to touch the phone at all, neither to take the calls nor to terminate them. Automatic electronic pick-up and hang-up are guaranteed as long as you use a speakerphone. The better your speakerphone, the higher the quality of the communication.

What if I have two phone lines? Can I still use the MiniCom?

The MiniCom system directly operates on one single phone line. If you have two phone numbers on the same line, it makes no difference because you actually have only one phone line for these numbers. All your phone-company services for both numbers will remain fully operable. If you have two separate phone lines, you need to select one to hook the intercom unit to. Then you will need a two-line phone at any location where you wish to service both lines.
