2   Programmable feature keys

There are two methods for performing programming of your phone’s programmable feature keys:

• Direct programming — Select the key you want to program, and hold it down for at least two seconds. This not only initiates programming but also lets you immediately program that specific key. (As you’ll notice, this is similar to how one programs most car radios’ station buttons.)
• Traditional programming — Press PROGRAM. The Verbal User 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 — Programming a line number into a programmable feature key makes it a line key, which provides the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access. (The range of available line numbers varies by ESI phone system; if necessary, consult your System Administrator.)
• Station keys — If you program a programmable feature key with any of the following, it becomes a station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access or transfer:
  • User extensions
  • Department pilot numbers
  • Guest/info mailboxes
  • Q&A mailboxes
  • Group mailboxes
  • Cascade notification mailboxes
  • System speed-dial numbers

  Note:

  The ranges of these numbers will depend on the dial plan in use in your system.

• Speed-dial keys — In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a system speed-dial number, you can create personal speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequently called outside numbers. The speed-dial number can be up to 24 characters long. If you program 9 (or 8 or 71–76) plus a phone number, the programmable feature key becomes a speed-dial key. When you program a speed-dial key, there’s no need to insert a pause after the 9 (or 8 or 71–76). Use the “up” scroll key to enter special characters for dialing:
  • P  =  Three-second pause
  • F  =  Hook-flash
  • #  =  # (pound) key
  • ∗  =  ∗ (star) key

  Notes:

  You can also program Location Keys for use with Esi-Link.
   
  Speed-dial keys cannot be programmed for emergency services, such as 9 1 1.

• Other feature keys — If you enter a feature code, the programmable feature key will serve as an enable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations for accessing additional features; consult your System Administrator to determine your access.

3   Station options

The station options sub-menu (PROGRAM 3) lets you activate or deactivate several features your station can provide. At each option sub-menu, 1 enables the option and 0 disables it.

7   Power-saving mode

(Applicable to only an ESI Cordless Handset.)

Allows you to enable or disable an ESI Cordless Handset’s power-saving mode, Enabling this mode helps achieve full battery life. However, if full-time status monitoring is required, you can disable this mode. In power-saving mode, the phone system blocks all status updates* to the Cordless Handset when the Handset has been idle for 30 seconds. Pressing the Cordless Handset’s keys or receiving an incoming call on it will discontinue power-saving mode.

4   Station audibles

The station audibles programming provides control of the following audible items:

Press the scroll keys to set the desired ringer volume (range: off to high), then press # to accept it.

3   Message ring

When enabled, this feature will periodically generate a short ring tone at your station as an additional alert that you have new messages.

The password will apply to station programming, voice mail retrieval and certain other features (when activated).
