Special keys
Voice mail (Code 579)
Allows a 12-Key Feature Phone (which lacks a dedicated VOICE MAIL key) to have voice mail access.
Warning: To use voice mail from a 12-Key Feature Phone, you must assign this code to a programmable feature
key. Failing to do so will disable the mailbox. (When you try to access a disabled mailbox, the system
will notify you that it's disabled.) You still can retrieve previously left messages and access user
programming, but the mailbox won't be able to receive new voice messages. Therefore, to enable the
mailbox, assign key code 579 to a programmable feature key.
Override ring (Code 580)
The override ring feature lets you place a call — station-to-station or outside line — or leave a message when
another call is ringing. For full details on use of this feature, see "Override ring," page F.9.
Record (Code 582)
Note: Available for only ESI Cordless Handsets and the 12-Key Feature Phone.
Press this key to record any phone conversation — or, when the Cordless Handset is idle, to record a
personal memo. For more details on using your ESI system's call recording features, refer to "Live recording,"
page D.6.

Quick Switch (Code 583)
Important: For the Quick Switch feature to work, your Installer or System Administrator must have programmed a
relationship between your desktop extension and Cordless Handset; and, obviously, you'll want to
program the key on both the desktop Feature Phone and the Cordless Handset.
Press this key to transfer an active call between a desktop ESI Feature Phone and an ESI Cordless Handset
(either direction).
Quick Switch ring options
When both the desktop extension and Cordless Handset are idle, press the Quick Switch key. Follow the
visual and audible prompts and use the scroll keys to change the programmable options concerning what
happens when a caller dials (or is transferred to) either your desktop phone or Cordless Handset:
•
RING DESKTOP — Only the desktop phone will ring.
•
RING CORDLESS — Only the Cordless Handset will ring.
In either of the two cases above, re-routing (including to a voice mailbox) will follow the desktop phone.
The other choice is:
•
NO RING OPT — If a caller dials (or is transferred to) the desktop phone, only that phone rings. If the
caller dials (or is transferred to) the Cordless Handset, only the Cordless Handset rings. Re-routing
follows whichever phone rang.
