INTRODUCTION TO THE
AT&T PagePac® 6 Plus VOICE PAGING SYSTEM
AT&T PagePac® 6 Plus is a compact, powerful, voice-paging system that integrates three paging zones, each with talk-back capability, into your telephone system. PagePac 6 Plus can be
used with most AT&T telephone systems, from single-line residential systems to modern electronic key and PBX systems.
FEATURES

Connects to your telephone system through standard modular telephone cords and type 42A
connecting blocks.
●
Works with either one or two lines, and provides two separate paging paths when used with
two lines.
●
Provides three separate paging zones, each with 2-watt voice-coil output, as well as “all call”
paging.
●
Uses standard touch-tone or rotary telephones to select zones.
●
Talk-back is available in all three zones.
●
Supports both standard (indoor) and horn speakers.

OPERATION
OPTIONS—AND HOW TO SELECT THEM
You may select the following options for your PagePac 6 Plus.
●
Zone Paging—
of speakers in which the page will be heard. If you don’t want zone paging, you can set
the unit for all-call only (paging from all speakers).
●
Talk-Back—
NOTE: When talk-back is used in a noisy zone, we recommend no more than two talk-back
speakers be used in that zone. This reduces the problems caused by background noise. Talkback should normally not be used with all-call paging.
●
Talk-back Warning Tones—
talk-back is on. The INITIAL tone sounds once at the beginning of the page. The
REPETITIVE tones should sound every 15 or 30 seconds (your choice).
●
Confirmation Tone—

Background Music—

TONES YOU HEAR—AND WHAT THEY MEAN
In addition to the Confirmation tone and Talk-Back Warning tones already described, PagePac
6 Plus has several other tones that help you use the system.
Dial Tone—
PagePac 6 Plus dial tone serves the same purpose as the regular dial tone. It is
the first tone you hear after picking up the telephone
Busy Tone—
Reorder Tone—
PagePac 6 Plus busy tone indicates that the zone you want to page is in use.
Reorder tone is a “fast” busy tone. When you hear it, you have made some
error. Hang up and start over.
Program Tone—
Program tone is two very short tones. You will hear it after selecting an op-
tion. It indicates the option was successfully selected.
Call Waiting Tone—
Call waiting tone is two short tones (but longer than program tone). You
will hear it if a call comes in while you are paging.
HOW TO PAGE
You can page to all zones at once, or to a single zone or combination of zones. To page, pick
up the telephone and listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone, then dial the number for the zone
or zones you want. See below.

When you replace the telephone, do so gently. This will prevent a “thud” from going out
over the speakers.
If talk-back is on, the voice of the person at the telephone controls the page/talk-back switch.
If this person speaks or makes any noise, anyone using talk-back will be cut off. After the
person at telephone is quiet, it takes about one-half second for the speakers to go into
talk-back.
HOW TO USE YOUR TELEPHONE
Incoming calls are handled normally. However, before making a call, you must either dial
9, or wait until you hear the regular dial tone.
Placing A Call:
Pick up the telephone and listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone (on key systems, select desired
1.
line).
2.
Dial 9, and listen for the regular dial tone. Or, you may wait for the regular dial tone.
If you want the operator, dial 0 as soon as you hear PagePac 6 Plus dial tone.
NOTE: If you hear Reorder Tone (a fast busy tone), a dialing error has been made. Hang
up and start over.
Dial the number.
3.
9
Dialing 9 gives you regular dial tone immediately. If you wait, PagePac 6 Plus will timeout
and then provide regular dial tone. How long this takes depends on which Automatic Outside
Line Access time period you select.
NOTE: To dial emergency 911, dial 9 or
wait
for the regular dial tone, and then dial 911.
If a call comes in while you are preparing to page, but have not dialed the zone(s), the caller
will be connected directly to your phone (with no ring).
If a call comes in while you are paging, the page will be interrupted for a moment, and you
will hear Call Waiting Tone (two short tones). Hang up, and the phone will ring. You may
then answer the call normally.
Using Last Number Redial With PagePac 6 Plus
If your telephones have last number redial, you can use it with PagePac 6 Plus. The exact
procedure depends on whether or not your phone has a PAUSE button.
Example:
Lift the telephone handset (on a key system, select the desired line), and
1.
Without
A PAUSE Button
wait
for the
regular dial tone. Then, dial the number.
NOTE: The Automatic Outside Line Access should be set for 2 seconds. (Dial option
code 862 for Line 1, or 866 for Line 2.)
To redial:
Repeat Step 1, then press the redial button on the telephone (or on some phones, dial
2.
the redial code).
Example:
With
A PAUSE Button
To place initial call:
Lift telephone receiver and listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone.
1.
Dial 9.
2.
Press PAUSE button and dial number.
3.
To redial:
4.5.Lift the telephone receiver, listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone, wait for regular dial
tone (see Note under: “Without A PAUSE Button” above).
Press redial button (or on some phones, dial redial code).
NOTE: If you have problems using the “With A PAUSE Button” procedure, try the
“Without A PAUSE Button” procedure.
NOTE: Using PagePac 6 Plus with a PBX—
To prevent unintentional pages, connect
PagePac 6 Plus on a trunk that has a normally unused access code (for example, a
trunk that is accessed by dialing 8). This trunk may also be used for outgoing and
incoming calls.

FCC REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THIS EQUIPMENT
FCC (PART 15)
Radio Frequency Interference
The PagePac 6 generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception. Testing has been conducted for compliance with the limits for Class B device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This testing is designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the PowerMate unit off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
●
Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna
●
Relocate the PagePac 6 with respect to the radio or TV receiver or vice-versa.
●
Plug the PagePac 6 into a different outlet so that it and the radio or TV receiver are on different
branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. The user may fined the following booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems,” helpful. This booklet was prepared by the Federal Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock order No. 004-000-00345-4.
FCC (PART 68)
This equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in accordance
with Part 68 of its Rules. The FCC requires that the manufacturer provide you with the following
information:
1. Connection and Use with Nationwide Telephone Network
The FCC requires that you connect your telephone equipment to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which
the equipment must be connected is a USOC RJ1lC.
Registered equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines. Equipment may be used with
Party Lines in areas where state tarifs permit such connections and when equipment is adaptable
for such use.
2. Information You May Need to Supply the Telephone Company.
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following information:
A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone equipment.
B. The FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). Both numbers are listed
on the equipment label. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not
all, areas, the sum of all RENs per line should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local
telephone company. The local telephone company must also be notified upon final disconnection
of the equipment from the local telephone company lines.
