OPTIONS -- AND HOW TO SELECT THEM

You may select the following options for your PagePac 6 Plus.

• Zone Paging—PagePac 6 Plus has three separate pagi ng zones. Each zone is a specific group of
speakers in which the page will be heard.

• Group Zones—PagePac 6 Plus allows for pagi ng over specifi c zone groups. These are availabl e by
dialing special codes (see How to Page).

• Talkback—Two-way communication betwe en the tel ephone and speakers.

• Talkback Warning Tones—These tones are heard in the loudspeakers to let people know talkback
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).

Note: When talkback is used in a noisy zone, we recommend no more than two talkback speakers be
used in that zone. This reduces the problems caused by background noise. Talkback should normally
not be used with all call paging.

• Confirmation Tone—A single tone heard in the telephone that indicates you can page (see Tone
You Hear — And What They Mean for a list of tones).

• Background Music—You must provide a source of music. Use an external music source such as a
FM tuner, tape deck, leased source, etc.

• Automatic Outside Line Access—Connects you to the telephone line without dialing 9. You will
have to wait either 2, 4, or 10 seconds depending on the option selected. The option may also be
turned off.

The bottom panel of the PagePac® 6 Plus contains FCC information, and programming dial codes, as
well as paging and talkback volume controls (see Figure 3). The music volume control and all
connections are on the back panel (see Figure 3).

TONES YOU HEAR -- AND WHAT THEY MEAN

In addition to the confirmati on 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 indicates that you may dial the number for the desir ed paging

area.

• Regular Dial Tone—Phone company dial tone indicates that you may dial a phone number.

• Busy Tone—PagePac 6 Plus busy tone indicates that the zone you want to page is in use.

• Reorder Tone—Reorder tone is a “fast” busy tone. Dialing error. Hang up and start over.

• Program Tone—Program tone is two very short tones. You will hear it after selecting an option. It

indicates the option was successfully selected.

• Call Waiting Tone—Call waiting tone is two short tones (but longer than progr am tone). You will hear

it if a call comes in while you are paging.

If talkback is on, the voice of the person at the telephone controls the page/talkback switch. If this
person speaks or makes any noise, anyone using talkback will be cut off. After the person at the
telephone is quiet, it takes about one-half second for the speakers to go into talkback.

PLACING A CALL

1. Pick up the telephone and listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone
(on key systems, select desired line).

Note: If you hear Reorder Tone (a fast busy tone), a dialing error has been made. Hang up and start
over.

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: To dial emergency 911, dial 9 or wait for t he regular dial tone, and then dial 911.

3. Dial the number. Dialing 9 gives you regular dial tone immediately. If you wait, PagePac 6 Plus will
time out and then provide regular dial tone. How long this takes depends on which Automatic

8947182

Outside Line Access time period you select unless you have selected “Off” for Outside Line Access,
in which case you will have to dial the 9.

If a call comes in while you are preparing to p age, 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 ri ng. You may then answer the call normally.

Note: PagePac 6 Plus has an Operator Access feature. Whenever you dial “0” before selecting a paging
zone, the unit will automatically place the call to the operator.

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: Without A PAUSE Button
Note: The Automatic Outside Line Acc ess shou ld be set f or 2 seconds . (Dial option code 862 f or L ine 1,

or 866 for Line 2.)

1. Lift the telephone handset (on a key system, selec t the desi red line), and wait for the regular dial

tone. Then, dial the number.

To redial:

2. Repeat Step 1, then press the redial button on the telephone
(or on some phones, dial the redial code).

Example: With a PAUSE Button

To place initial call:

1. Lift telephone receiver and listen for PagePac 6 Plus dial tone.

2. Dial 9.

3. Press Pause button and dial number.

To redial:

1. Lift the telephone receiver, listen for PagePac® 6 Plus dial tone.

2. 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.
