User’s GuideIntroductionOptional 60-Key Expansion Console for use with the 48-Key Feature PhoneThe 60-Key Expansion Console adds 60 more programmable feature keys to your 48-Key Feature Phone.You program the Expansion Console’s keys just as you do the programmable feature keys on your ESIFeature Phone, using either direct or traditional programming (see pages C.2).Note: Only one key can exist per extension, feature or operation. If you program a second key for the sameextension, feature or operation, this automatically erases the first key so programmed, thus making itavailable for a new extension, feature or operation.Hint:You may find it easier to write in the names on the overlay before you program the keys and attach theoverlay to the Console.60 programmablefeature keys(pg.

User’s GuideHelp mode (Verbal User Guide)Help mode (Verbal User’s Guide)Your ESI phone system’s help mode (also called the Verbal User Guide) — a carefully conceivedcombination of spoken information, display readouts and even key illumination when appropriate — is apowerful tool to help you learn how to use the system’s many features.TutorialWhen 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 operationHelp during station programmingTo hear a detailed description of a function you wish to program, press HELP while programming it.Help during a callPress HELP while on a call and this will place the call on hold, whereupon you can use help mode tohear a description of the function you wish to perform.

User’s GuideUser programming: An introductionUser programming: An introductionThe answering machine can record up to two simultaneous calls. When a message is left, theVOICE MAIL key on the 12, 24, or 48-Key Feature Phone will light. Messages can be retrieved byany authorized 12, 24, or 48-Key Feature Phone or remotely from an off-premises location. Only oneuser can access the mailbox at a time. The system can also be programmed to call an off-premisesnumber to deliver messages.The first member in the Master List is allowed to program the Integrated Answering Machine via thePROGRAM key. This station is designated as the Master Station. All other users will only be able toplay and delete messages. A 12, 24, or 48-Key Feature Phone can be installed on an extension in theMaster Lst. However, a 24 or 48-Key Feature Phone must be on the extension designated as theMaster Station.Voice prompts will play menu and sub-menu options to access the desired feature. You don't have to waitfor the entire prompt to be played. Therefore, once you’ve become familiar with the prompts (consult“User programming menu,” below), you can quickly set any frequently used feature.Programming helpDuring any of the programming steps, press HELP to hear a more detailed description of the featureand related programming options.Exiting programming modeTo exit programming mode, simply hang up.User programming menuOverviewNote: Only menu options 2, 3, and 4 (except for personal greeting reminder) are available to non-Master users.1 Select personal greeting1 Record2 Delete3 Hear4 Station audibles1 Station ring tone2 Station ring volume3 Message ring2 Programmable feature keys(Station keys, line keys, speed-dial keys, otherfeature keys)5 Password1 Enter2 Delete3 Hear4 Security level3 Station options1 Call waiting/background announce2 Personal greeting reminder13 Headset operation4 Outside dial tone preference5 Hands-free answer6 Message monitor6 External message notification1 Delivery options2 Phone delivery3 Pager notification9 Un-deleteNote: Background announce and selections 3, 5, and 6 under station options are not available on a 12-KeyFeature Phone.1Not necessary with Generation II system. If unsure which system you have, consult your System Administration.C.1

User programming: An introductionUser’s Guide1 Select personal greetingSelect the desired greeting — 1, 2 or 3. The system will play the current greeting, followed byprompts to re-record, delete or hear again — or select the current greeting by pressing #.1Record personal greetingBegin recording at the tone. Press 1 to stop. The new personal greeting automatically replacesthe previous greeting.2Delete personal greetingWhen prompted, press 2 again to confirm deletion.Warning:3The mailbox is disabled if no greeting exists. Never delete all of the existing greetingsbefore you record at least one new one.Hear current personal greeting2 Programmable feature keysThere are two methods for programming your phone: Direct programming — Select the key you want to program, and hold it down for at least twoseconds. This not only initiates programming but also lets you immediately program that specific key.Direct programming example:You wish to set one of the keys to dial a co-worker, whose extension is 105. Hold down thekey for at least two seconds. This automatically puts you in feature key programming.Follow the prompts to enter 1 0 5. (This has allowed you to skip two steps — pressingPROGRAM and selecting a menu option — that you’d have had to perform if usingtraditional programming.) Traditional programming — Press PROGRAM. The Verbal User’s Guide will speak to you,walking you through the full menu, during which you can choose the appropriate option.How the programmable feature keys can be set Line keys — If a line number (1 through 12) is programmed, the programmable feature keybecomes a line key providing the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access. Station keys — If the dialed digits input are a three-digit number, the programmable feature keywill become a station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access ortransfer. Three-digit numbers you enter can be:— User extensions (100–123 and 124–129)— Department numbers (290–299)— System speed-dial numbers (600–699) Speed-dial keys — In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a systemspeed-dial number, you can create personal speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequentlycalled outside numbers. If you program 9 (or 8 or 7) plus a phone number, the programmablefeature key becomes a speed-dial key. When you program a speed-dial key, there's no need toinsert a pause after the 9 (or 8 or 7). The speed-dial number can be up to 24 characters long.Use the up scroll key ( ) to enter special characters in a dial string (see Option 6 on page C.4). Other feature keys — If you enter feature codes, the programmable feature key will serve as anenable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations foraccessing additional features; consult your System Administrator for your access (see page F.12).C.2
