Operation
GAI-Tronics offers two types of Page/Party ® systems: Single party with one page line and one party line,
and multi-party with one page line and five party lines allowing up to five simultaneous two-way
conversations.
For single party systems, complete the following steps to make a page announcement:
1. Lift the handset from the cradle.
2. Depress and hold the handset pressbar.
3. Speak directly into the microphone to broadcast your announcement over the loudspeakers.
4. Release the handset pressbar, and if requested, wait for a response.
The paged individual(s) responds by picking up a station handset.
For multi-party systems, complete the following steps to make a page announcement:
1. Lift the handset from the cradle. If party line conversation is desired, rotate the selector switch to an
unoccupied party line.
2. Depress and hold the handset pressbar.
3. Speak directly into the microphone to broadcast your announcement over the loudspeakers.
4. Release the handset pressbar, and if requested, wait for a response.
The paged individual(s) responds by picking up a station handset and turning the selector switch to the
requested party line.
With either type of system, the full duplex party line communication is not broadcast over the system
speakers. Other individuals can also pick up and join the conversation at any time. Always return the
handset to the cradle following a page or a party line conversation.
