Using the Paging Feature

SpectraLink 8430 / 8440 Wireless Handsets can operate in a group broadcast mode called Paging. You
can use the Paging feature to make a page to a page group. A page is a one-way transmission played
over the phone's speakerphone. A page group is a defined group of page recipients that have subscribed
to that group. Your system administrator defines which page groups are available for subscription. By
default, subscriptions to groups 1, 24, and 25 are enabled. Contact your system administrator for more
information.
There are three paging group types:
• Normal pages Page Groups 1 to 23 can be used as normal page groups by any subscribed phone
user. The administrator can create a label, comprised of up to 15 characters, for Groups 1 to 23 to
help users identify the page group. The default label for Group 1 is ALL.
• Priority pages Pages from this group are received by all phones unless Do Not Disturb is enabled
or an Emergency page is already playing. Priority pages are played at the current audio level. The
default priority page group is 24.
• Emergency pages Every phone will receive Emergency pages even if the phone is in an active call
or if Do Not Disturb is enabled. Emergency pages play out on the speaker at the highest audio
level. The audio level will return to normal for subsequent non-emergency pages. The default
Emergency Page Group is 25.
