ESI Feature Phone operation
Paging
Your ESI phone system can be programmed to allow paging through an overhead paging system and/or
paging through some or all of the system's Feature Phone speakers.
Overhead paging
Station number 199 is designated as the overhead paging port. If the ESI phone system has been
connected to an overhead paging system, you can page by dialing 1 9 9 and making your announcement
after the tones. If you frequently page, assign 1 9 9 to a programmable feature key (see page C.1).
Paging through phones
Press PAGE to page through all of the ESI Feature Phone speakers. The Installer may have added an
overhead page system to the page zone.
Note: Phones in use or in do-not-disturb mode will not carry a page through their speakers.
To page for pickup of an outside call
To page someone to pick up an outside call:
1. Place the call on hold by pressing HOLD.
2. Verify the line number from the display.
3. Page the person and announce the hold location for retrieval. For example:
"Sarah, you have a call on Line Two — Sarah, Line Two, please."
Call pickup
From your station, you can answer a call ringing at another station by pressing
the extension or (if the destination is programmed into one of your keys; see "Programmable feature
keys," p. C.1) pressing the station key for the ringing station.
