Paging
If a Public Address (PA) amplifier is connected to the BT Quantum, you can:
• Make announcements over the PA from a systemphone.
• Make announcements over the speakers of all systemphones.
• Make Voice Calls to other users via the speakers of their systemphone.
• Using Page all, page both systemphones and PA simultaneously.
You can programme the system to protect a user’s systemphone against both Paging
announcements and Voice Calls. Refer to the BT Quantum Administration Guide for
details.
Making an announcement over a Public Address System
If there is a Public Address (PA) system connected to your BT Quantum, extensions can
make an announcement over the PA. The extensions that can make announcements over
the PA are set in system programming. See the BT Quantum Administration Guide for
programming instructions.
To make an announcement over the PA system:
• From the idle menu, scroll until Paging is displayed.
• Select Paging.
• Select Public address and make your announcement.
The announcement has a maximum duration of fifteen seconds.
On a BT 8528 systemphone, Q DECT telephone or a compatible standard telephone, to use
Paging to make an announcement over the PA, dial 720.
Making an announcement over the speakers of all systemphones
Internal Paging allows any extension to make an announcement over the speakers of all
systemphones. Only systemphones that are page protected will not be paged.
To use Internal Paging:
• From the idle menu, scroll until Paging is displayed.
• Select Paging.
• Select Page extensions.
• Make your announcement.
