The Whisper Page feature allows you, if you have appropriate permissions,
to make an announcement to a person at another extension currently on
another call. Only the person at the other ex t ension hears the
announcement; the other person on the call cannot hear the message.
Note: If you are connecting the headpiece to the Handset jack on the
6400 Series telephones, the M10L-8400 is the only modular base unit
that should be used. If you use any other modular base unit, the
Whisper Page announcement may be overheard by the other person
on the call.
To make an important announcement (such as an incoming call) to
someone at another extension busy on another call
1. Press the button
or
Dial the Whisper Page access code.
Both people on the other call hear a beep.
The person whom you have called can press the button
which forms a two-party speaking path with your telephone. The other
call is put on hold and that person cannot hear your conversation.
2. Speak with the person you have called.
Note: If the person whom you have called is not using the telephone at
the time you activate Whisper Page, the call is converted to a
normal call.
Note: Any person in the system with the button
administered on the telephone can block Whisper Page calls by
pressing the button.
