• Emergency: By default, broadcasts sent to group 25 are considered emergency broadcasts. An emergency broadcast
interrupts normal broadcasts, priority broadcasts, and active calls. These broadcasts play out at near-maximum volume
even if you enable Do Not Disturb.
To send and receive pages, subscribe to the paging groups. By default, you are subscribed to paging groups 1, 24, and 25,
and you can send and receive pages to those paging groups. Contact your system administrator to find out which paging
group you are subscribed to.
Send a Group Page
Send a page to a selected paging group.
You can’t send a page while you are in an active call.
Task
1 In the Lines screen, select the Paging softkey.
2 In the Paging Groups screen, select a paging group.
Note:
When you send a group page without selecting a page group, the phone automatically sends it to the default
paging group (group 1).
3 Select Page.
Just before the page starts, you hear an alert tone, then the page begins.
4 To end the page, select End Page.
Receiving Pages
How you receive a page depends on the priority of the page, whether you are in an active call, and whether your phone is
set to receive a page during an active call.
You receive pages on the paging groups you are subscribed to as well as group 24 (priority pages), and group 25
(emergency pages). When you enable Do Not Disturb, you only receive emergency pages. Nonemergency pages don’t
display or play on your phone.
When you receive a page, the page always plays through the phone's speakerphone. You can’t play a page through your
handset or headset.
Listen to a Page During an Active Call
Pages received during an active call defer or automatically play, depending on the page priority.
Pages you receive during an active call don't interrupt the call. The phone plays audio from both the call and the page at the
same time. When you receive a page during a call, the phone plays the pages based on the following settings:
• If configured by your administrator, standard priority pages play during active calls. Otherwise, the page displays on
your phone as pending.
• Priority and emergency pages play immediately.
Note:
If you adjust the volume of a normal, nonemergency page while it plays, the phone uses the adjusted volume for all
subsequent nonemergency pages. However, only your system administrator can change the volume of an emergency page.
Task
» Do one of the following:
• For normal pages that play automatically during a call, hold the call to listen to the page.
• For pending pages, select Accept or hold the call to listen to the page.
Receiving Pages When Not in an Active Call
When you receive a page and you aren’t in an active call, the page immediately plays, regardless of the paging priority.
While a page plays, you can do the following:
• Hold the page.
