Paging
The ESI phone system can be programmed to allow paging through an overhead paging system and/or
paging through some (if page zones have been created) or all of the ESI Feature Phones' speakers.
Overhead paging
If the remote location system has an overhead paging system connected to it, you can page there by
programming a feature key with the location number followed by 599 — e.g., 7 1 2 5 9 9 — and using it
as you would a regular overhead paging key (see "Paging," page E.15).
Paging through phones
To page through all of the ESI Feature Phone speakers at a remote location:
1. Press PAGE (#).
2. Press the appropriate Location Key.
3. Press 0.
To access a programmed paging zone (see the Administrator for a list of page zones):
1. Press PAGE (#).
2. Press the appropriate Location Key.
3. Press the key for the page zone number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 9). The Installer may have added an
overhead paging system to one or more of these page zones.
Note: Phones in use will not carry a page through their speakers.
Hold
Hold set
You can place outside line calls on hold as you would normally. When paging someone at a remote
location to retrieve the held call, remember to announce your location number and outside line number
to be retrieved. For instance, if you need to have Jane in the Chicago office retrieve a call being held in
Dallas (location 701, in this example):
1. While on a call on line 5 in the Dallas office, press HOLD.
2. Page the Chicago office.
3. Announce the call; e.g., "Jane, you have a Dallas call on line 5. Jane, line 5 in Dallas."
Hold retrieval from a remote location
1. Press HOLD.
2. Press the preprogrammed Location Key (or dial the location number).
3. Dial the number of the line on which the call is being held.
Voice mail
Moving a message to a remote location
1. While playing back the voice mail message you wish to move, press 6.
2. Press the Location Key (or dial the location number).
3. Dial the mailbox (extension) number.
Note: Messages are moved in the background, so it may take several minutes before the remote location can
receive them.
