Direct station selection

Programming some of the programmable feature keys (see pp. C.2–C.3) as station keys will provide
direct access to those stations as well as providing lamp information as to their status. The station keys'
LEDs indicates the status of the station assigned to each key:
If a station key's LED is . . .
Unlit
Red; steadily lit
Red; blinking
Green; steadily lit
Green; blinking
Amber; steadily lit
Note: Each ESI Cordless Handset has only red LEDs, and only on its four programmable feature keys.
The illumination activity (such as blinking) otherwise is similar to that described above.
To call another station programmed into one of your station keys:
1. Press an available (unlit) station key.
2. The called station will sound a short ring followed by a double connect tone.
3. The phone system will activate the called station's speakerphone (or the station will ring if that
station's user has hands-free answer disabled).
4. To disconnect when finished, do one of the following:
•
Replace the handset.
•
If in hands-free mode, either press the station key again or press SPEAKER.
•
Press RELEASE. (With a Cordless Handset, press TALK or put the Handset in its charging cradle.)
If you press a key for a station that's in use (red; steadily lit), you will "camp onto" the station, where its
Feature Phone's display will tell its user that you're waiting (see "Call waiting," page E.12).
If you press a key for a station that's in DND (amber; steadily lit), you'll be forwarded directly to the
person's mailbox.

If your phone system is using ESI Presence Management, your phone's MUTE/DND key won't turn amber when you exit the
building using your electronic key; for more details, refer to the ESI Presence Management User's Guide (ESI part # 0450-0793).
If you're not sure whether your system is using ESI Presence Management, consult your System Administrator. For more
information about ESI Presence Management, visit www.esi-estech.com/presence.
