Keys' LEDs (lamps)
The LEDs (light-emitting diodes), or lamps, associated with the programmable and fixed keys aid in
determining the status of their function. In general:
• Green indicates a function associated with your phone.
• Red indicates an occurrence at another station.
• Amber indicates the station's status, either in DND mode or:
— With ESI Presence Management
— With ESI Cellular Management
• A solidly lit lamp indicates in-use status.
• Blinking indicates an action, such as ringing or holding, is required; a fast blink calls for immediate action.
As an example, a blinking red key is a call ringing at another station; blinking green signifies ringing at your
station. (See also "Line keys," page F.13.)
Note: Each ESI Cordless Handset has only red LEDs, and only on its programmable feature keys.
The illumination activity (such as blinking) otherwise is similar to that described above.
SPEAKER key and speakerphone operation
Note: The ESI Cordless Handset models and legacy 12-Key Feature Phone each lack a speakerphone.
For hands-free conversation, use the SPEAKER key. When an outside call rings, you can press SPEAKER
to connect to the caller via your phone's built-in speakerphone. This lights the SPEAKER key's LED. Or,
while using the handset, you can switch a call to the speakerphone by pressing SPEAKER and hanging up
the handset. (To revert to the handset from speakerphone mode, lift the handset again.) To perform group
listening — i.e., have a handset conversation along with the caller's voice broadcast over your speaker
press SPEAKER while on a handset conversation but do not hang up the handset.
Hands-free answer (internal calls only)
Note: To use this feature on an ESI Cordless Handset, you must be using a headset.
You can program your phone either to enable or disable hands-free answer — press PROG/HELP 3 5.
With hands-free enabled, an internal call to your station generates a short ring and a double connect tone,
then automatically connects the caller to your speakerphone. With hands-free disabled, an internal call to
your station generates a single-ring cadence; outside calls ring with a double-ring cadence.
Volume/scroll keys
The two smaller keys labeled
• Adjusting the volume heard through the handset and speaker — Your phone will maintain the
chosen volume setting until you change it.
• Serving as scroll keys for operations, such as Esi-Dex or programming, that may show several entries
on the display.
• Controlling the display backlighting on an ESI desktop phone with an available backlit display —
The choices are always-on-low, always-on-medium, always-on-high, on-with-activity, and off.
Note: Each ESI Cordless Handset lacks scroll keys, and thus doesn't support features like Esi-Dex or
Virtual Mailboxes.
To control volume on a Cordless Handset, use the buttons on the Handset's side.
