Using Page with external paging equipment
When you make a page that uses external paging equipment (external page
or combined page), the Long Tones feature is automatically activated for
the external paging system only. This allows you to control optional
equipment with the Long Tones feature.
Sending messages using the display
The Messages feature allows you to leave a message on the display of
another Norstar telephone, and indicates if you have any messages waiting.
The Messages feature uses a message waiting list to keep a record of your
internal messages and your (external) voice mail messages (if you
subscribe to a voice message service with visual message waiting
indication).
Sending a message

You can leave a message on the display of another telephone in your
Norstar system. You can send up to four messages to different telephones,
including your voice message center.
If your telephone is a direct-dial telephone or a central answering position
(CAP), you can send up to 30 messages.
If your reply to a message is forwarded or is answered at another telephone
using the Call Pickup feature, the message remains on your telephone until
you cancel it or successfully contact the telephone that sent the message.
