• If an external paging system has been connected to Paging Groups 00-07, 

pages can be made through the external speakers. Voice Paging can also be 
heard over the extensions in groups 00-07.

• An extension can belong to more than one paging group.

• A maximum of eight Paging Groups can be assigned to a system.

• Additional pages cannot be sent when someone is paging group 00. In fact, 

if you page group 00 while other extensions are paging groups 01-07, the 
latter operations will be terminated, and “Page Overridden” will appear on 
your display.

• Paging cannot be heard at busy extensions or at extensions for which the 

Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding, or Absence Message feature is activated. 

• You can answer Paging from an idle extension by dialing the Meet-Me 

Answer code (“77”).

• The Meet-Me Answer feature cannot be used at an extension that is off-

hook at the time of the Paging Call, even if the extension later goes 
onhook.

• The Meet-Me Answer feature cannot be used with Paging Group 00.

(CPC-S and CPC-M)

This feature provides telephone service to a limited number of SLTs during a 
power failure. The SLTs are connected to the CO via a Power Failure Unit 
(PFU). 

In the event of a power failure, the power failure extensions have dial tone 
directly from the CO; system features and restrictions do not apply.

• An SLT that will be connected to the PFU
