ESI Feature Phone operation
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 (DND mode or, with ESI Presence 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.11.)
Note: Each ESI Cordless Handset has only red LEDs, and only on its four 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 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
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 PROGRAM 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.
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.
