## Loudspeaker Paging

## Definition

Loudspeaker paging denotes a call from a system telephone that is announced via the loudspeakers in all or groups of system telephones with loudspeakers.

Loudspeaker paging can also be combined with the immediate answer possibility.

## Use

Loudspeaker paging is used to gain rapid contact with one or more persons.

By means of division into groups it is possible to page within one department only or to page all extensions.

By paging in one department only it is possible to avoid disturbing people who are not involved.

A paged extension (pagee) can answer the call directly by moving to the nearest telephone that has the group key programmed.

## Operation

### Call

To initiate loudspeaker paging:

1. Press key for group of extensions to be paged.

- Lamp of group key glows steadily at the same time as either Line 1 or Line 2 (not available on BASIC Telephone) is seized.
- When key is pressed all free extensions in group hear short tone burst.

1. Now press key once more and announce message.
   Keep key depressed until entire message has been transmitted and then release it.

- For extensions with group key, the lamp now starts to flash rapidly.

If call is not disconnected manually via Clear-key, automatic disconnection will take place 30 seconds after release of call key.

This monitoring period gives the pagee time to answer the call directly.

### Answer

An extension who hears paging can call the pager by means of a normal internal call.

### Answer via group key

An extension user who hears paging can, if he/she has access to the button for the paging group, answer the call directly as long as the group key lamp flashes.

1. Press group key.

- Speech status with pager will be established.
- When speech connection has been established call will be signalled as normal internal call via Line 1, Line 2 (not available on BASIC Telephone) or Inquiry.
- Signalling via group key ceases and paging channel is released.

If an extension who receives a call initiates an outgoing call, paging in (via) the monitoring loudspeaker will be interrupted while the (if any) group key lamp keeps flashing until the call ends.

## Capacity

Eight paging groups can be programmed.

The number of extensions per paging group is not limited.

An extension or operator can be a member of any number of paging groups.

## Limitations

The following prerequisites apply for initiation of a paging call:

- Calls can only be made from telephones with a key programmed for loudspeaker paging
- Line 1 or Line 2 (not available on BASIC Telephone) shall be free
- No other paging shall be ongoing in the group

The following prerequisites apply for a paging call to be announced via a telephone:

- The telephone must have a loudspeaker
- The extension must be programmed as a member of the group
- The extension must be completely free

The user cannot adjust the volume for loudspeaker paging by means of the + - and - - keys.

It is however possible to individually program the level for loudspeaker paging. See “Programming” below.
