ESI Feature Phone operation

Display

When your phone (or station) is not in use, the display will show the current date and time, as well as
activated features such as DND (do not disturb; see "MUTE/DND," page E.3) and monitor mode.
Note: An ESI Cordless Handset's display is similar to that of the 24-Key Feature Phone.

Caller ID

If you subscribe to Caller ID from your telephone service provider, the phone's display will show an
outside caller's name and/or number.
caller status — such as UNAVAILABLE, PRIVATE or NO DATA SENT.

Keys

Programmable feature keys
The phone's programmable feature keys — four on an ESI Cordless Handset, nine on the 12-Key
Feature Phone, 12 on the 24-Key Feature Phone, and 30 on the 48-Key Feature Phone — have been
pre-programmed by the installer. You may wish to add to or change some of these keys to perform
different functions explained throughout this manual. Press PROGRAM to verify current settings (see
"Station programming," page C.1).
Important: Each of the two smaller Feature Phones, 12-Key and 24-Key, has a combination ("combo")
PROG/HELP key, while the 48-Key Feature Phone has separate PROGRAM and HELP keys. If
you're using a 12-Key or 24-Key Feature Phone, press PROG/HELP wherever this User's Guide
instructs you to press either PROGRAM or HELP.
Each ESI Cordless Handset has a combination TRANS/CONF/PRG key that you should press
when this User's Guide instructs you to press PROGRAM.
Note: To use voice mail, conference calling and mute/DND on a 12-Key Feature Phone, or to use call
recording or do-not-disturb mode on an ESI Cordless Handset, you must program these features into
programmable feature keys (see "Optional features," page F.12).
Fixed-feature keys
The fixed-feature keys on the phone are permanently labeled as to their usage. The FLASH/REDIAL
and MUTE/DND key on either Feature Phone each have two purposes; your ESI phone system will
govern this by permitting only the appropriate function when either is pressed, depending on the
circumstances at that moment. The different phone models have some different fixed-feature keys.

If you don't subscribe to Caller ID, the LCD will show which line is receiving the call, instead of the caller's name or number.

Each Cordless Handset has no access to the system's Verbal User Guide ("help mode") and, therefore, no HELP key.
