ESI Feature Phone operation
E.3
Keys’ LEDs (lamps)
The LEDs
(light-emitting diodes)
, or lamps, associated with the programmable and fixed keys aid in
determining the status of their function. In general:
•
Green
indicates a function associated with your phone.
•
Red
indicates an occurrence at another station.
•
Amber
indicates the station’s status, either in DND mode or:
— With ESI Presence Management
1
, off-premises.
— With ESI Cellular Management
2
, not connected.
•
A
solidly lit
lamp indicates in-use status.
•
Blinking
indicates an action, such as ringing or holding, is required; a
fast blink
calls for
immediate action.
As an example, a blinking red key is a call ringing at another station; blinking green signifies ringing at your
station. (See also “Line keys,” page F.13.)
Note:
Each ESI Cordless Handset has only red LEDs, and only on its four programmable feature keys.
The illumination activity (such as blinking) otherwise is similar to that described above.
SPEAKER key and speakerphone operation
Note:
The ESI Cordless Handset models and 12-Key Feature Phone each lack a speakerphone.
For hands-free conversation, use the
SPEAKER
key. When an outside call rings, you can press
SPEAKER
to connect to the caller via your phone’s built-in speakerphone. This lights the
SPEAKER
key’s LED. Or,
while using the handset, you can switch a call to the speakerphone by pressing
SPEAKER
and hanging up
the handset. (To revert to the handset from speakerphone mode, lift the handset again.) To perform

while on a handset conversation
but do not hang up the handset.

.
With hands-free
enabled
, an internal call to your station generates a short ring and a double connect tone,
then automatically connects the caller to your speakerphone. With hands-free
disabled
, an internal call to
your station generates a single-ring cadence; outside calls ring with a double-ring cadence.
Volume/scroll keys
The two smaller keys labeled
and
, located just above the dial pad, serve two purposes:
•
Adjusting the volume
heard through the handset and speaker — Your phone will maintain the
chosen volume setting until you change it.
• Serving
as
scroll keys
for operations, such as Esi-Dex or programming, that may show several entries
on the display.
Note:
Each ESI Cordless Handset lacks scroll keys, and thus doesn’t support features like Esi-Dex or
Virtual Mailboxes.
To control volume on a Cordless Handset, use the buttons on the Handset’s side.
