Operation
GAI-Tronics offers two types of Page/Party ® systems: Page/Single-Party with one party line and one page
line, and Page/Multi-Party with five party lines and one page line allowing up to five simultaneous two-
way conversations.
For Page/Single-Party, complete the following steps to make a page announcement:
1. Lift the handset from the cradle.
2. Depress and hold the press-to-page button on the front cover.
3. Speak directly into the microphone to broadcast your announcement over the loudspeakers.
4. Release the press-to-page button, and if requested, wait for a response.
The paged individual(s) responds by picking up a handset at any station and beginning communications.
For Page/Multi-Party, complete the following steps to make a page announcement:
1. Lift the handset from the cradle.
2. If party line conversation is desired, rotate the selector switch on the front cover to an unoccupied
party line.
3. Depress and hold the press-to-page button on the front cover.
4. Speak directly into the microphone to broadcast your announcement over the loudspeakers.
5. Release the press-to-page button, 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 equipment, 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.
