7.13Sending A Paging Announcement

Your system provides an all-call or a zone page feature that you access by dialing special codes. This arrangement sounds your voice announcement through the telephone speakers. All-call sounds the announcement through all telephones, while zone paging sounds the announcement only through those telephones located in a specific area. Check with your system administrator to determine the type of paging and access method you should use. If your day-to-day operation requires that you send many paging announcements, you can program a special all-call/zone paging button to give quick access to the feature. See the programming section of this user’s guide for details.

Your installer can arrange your system with an external paging unit that you access by pressing a line button or by dialing a special code. This unit sounds the voice announcement over an external speaker unit. Check with your system administrator for specific information on how to operate with such an arrangement.
