B.1
Help mode (Verbal User Guide)
Your ESI phone system’s
Help mode
(also called the
Verbal User Guide
) — a carefully conceived combination
of spoken information, display readouts and even key illumination when appropriate — is a powerful tool to help
you learn how to use the system’s many features.
Notes:
As explained on page E.2, each of the two smaller Feature Phones, 12-Key and 24-Key, has a combo
PROG/HELP
key.
The ESI Cordless Handsets have no access to the Verbal User Guide and, therefore, no
HELP
key.
Tutorial
When your station is idle, press
HELP
, and then follow the spoken Help menu to:
• Learn how to use the phone
• Hear a description of how any key is used
• Learn how to use voice mail features
• Hear a complete tutorial on phone operation
Help during station programming
To hear a detailed description of a function you wish to program, press
HELP
while programming it.
Help during a call
Press
HELP
while on a call and this will place the call on hold, whereupon you can use Help mode to hear a
description of the function you wish to perform. When you exit Help mode, you will be reconnected to the call.
While you are either in Help mode or programming your phone, your station will be temporarily placed in DND
(see “
MUTE/DND,
” page E.4). Anyone calling your station while you are in DND will be forwarded to your
mailbox (or other destination set by the Installer).
Exiting Help mode
To exit Help mode, simply hang up.
