Broadcast Messages with Group Paging

Group Paging enables you to make pages—one-way audio announcements—to contacts subscribed to a
page group. Your administrator can enable your phone to operate in a broadcast mode called Group
Paging mode. In this mode, you can broadcast one-way announcements to a specified group of phones,
called a Paging Group.
Your system administrator can define up to 25 paging groups. Your system administrator can assign a
label to each group to identify the phones in the group, such as All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or
Executives.
Each group has one of the following priorities:
●
Normal By default, broadcasts sent to groups 1 to 23 are considered Normal broadcasts. If two
users begin a broadcast on the same group at the same time, the phone with the lower serial
number continues to transmit while the other phone enters the receiving state. By default, all
phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to group 1.
●
Priority By default, broadcasts sent to group 24 are considered Priority broadcasts. A Priority
broadcast interrupts Normal broadcasts or active calls. All phones receive Priority broadcasts
unless Do Not Disturb is enabled. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone's current audio
level.
●
Emergency By default, broadcasts sent to group 25 are considered Emergency broadcasts. An
Emergency broadcast interrupts Normal broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and active calls and plays
out at near maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is enabled.

Send and Receive Pages

To send and receive pages, you need to subscribe to certain paging groups. By default, you are
subscribed to paging groups 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive pages to paging
groups 1, 24, and 25. Contact your system administrator to find out which paging group you are
subscribed to.
Send Pages
When you send a group page, it is automatically sent to paging group 1, which is your default paging
group.
You can change the default paging group to any group you want. To change the default paging group,
