Message monitor mode (live call screening)

(Not available on the legacy 12-Key Feature Phone.)
Message monitor mode, or live call screening, lets you hear a caller leaving a message in your mailbox, just
as with your home answering machine. You turn this feature on or off as part of user programming —
PROG/HELP 3 6. While you hear the caller through your speaker, you have the following options:
Option Result
Lift the handset You intercept the call
Do nothing The system records the message to your mailbox for your later retrieval
Press MUTE/DND Temporarily mutes your speaker (the system continues to record the message to your mailbox)
Note: During monitor mode, you will hear a call ring, then subdued ringing while the caller is hearing your personal
greeting, then their message. You can intercept the call at any time.

Personal greeting reminder

If you frequently change your personal greeting, use this option; it sets your station to remind you of your
current greeting. The first time you use your phone after it has been idle (for the period you set in this function),
the system automatically plays your current greeting (and gives you the option to change it). The range is 0 (no
reminder) to 500 hours. To set this, press PROG/HELP 3 2.
Example: If you change your personal greeting only when out of town for a few days, set the reminder interval to
72 hours; you'll be reminded if your phone hasn't been used for three days or if you're away for a couple
of days. If you change your greeting several times a day, set the reminder for about 3 hours.

Headset operation

1
You can use a headset
one of your programmable feature keys to be a headset key
use to connect to or disconnect from a call. The key will blink green when a call is ringing and glow green when
connected. If you have a headset connected and the phone is off-hook, pressing the scroll keys (
adjust the headset volume. After you initiate or answer a call using the headset key, lifting the phone's handset
automatically takes you out of headset mode. To switch back to headset mode while on a call, press the headset
key again and then place the phone's handset on-hook.

Once a headset is plugged into an ESI Cordless Handset, audio is automatically transferred to the headset, so there is no need to program a
headset key if using a Cordless Handset. For headset use with a Cordless Handset, ESI supports only the headset that's sold specifically for the
two Cordless Handset models. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
