Paging

Your ESI system can be programmed to allow paging through an overhead paging system and/or paging through
some (if page zones have been created) or the speakers of all of the system's ESI phones.

Overhead paging

If the ESI system has been connected to an overhead paging system, you can page by assigning 5 9 9 to a
programmable feature key (see pp. C.2–C.3) to make it an overhead paging key. Then, you can page by
pressing this key, waiting for the two tones, and making your announcement.
Paging through phones
1
Press PAGE 0 to page through the speakers of all of the ESI phones. Press PAGE and then enter a
programmed paging zone, such as 1 or 2 (see the System Administrator for a list of page zones).
Pressing 0 pages all zones. The Installer may have added an overhead page system to one or more of these
page zones. The number of available zones will vary according to which ESI system you have.
Notes: Phones in use or in do-not-disturb mode will not carry a page through their speakers.
An ESI Cordless Phone carries a page only through a connected headset.
To page for pickup of an outside call
To page someone to pick up an outside call:
1. Place the call on hold by pressing HOLD.
2. Verify the line number from the display.
3. Page the person and announce the hold location for retrieval. For example:
"Sarah, you have a call on Line Two — Sarah, Line Two, please."

Call pickup

From your station, you can answer a call ringing at another station or department by pressing PICK UP
either dialing the extension or (if the destination is programmed into one of your keys; see "Programmable feature
keys," pp. C.2–C.3) pressing the station key for the ringing station.
During night mode (see page F.14), if a night bell is in use instead of the night auto attendant, press PICK UP 0
to access the ringing outside call.
