facility, except as limited by the contours of the
terrain and high rise buildings surrounding the site.
If the facility requires wide area radio paging
coverage beyond the transmission range of the onsite
Radio Page System, the facility will need to use a
wide area paging service. This could be an existing
Base/Post Radio Page System or leased pagers from a
commercial Radio Common Carrier (RCC) serving the
area. Fill in blank with name of base/post.

Page Initiation
**************************************************************************
NOTE: There are four different page initiation
methods available: Total access paging from any
telephone location, limited access paging from
selected telephone location, access from push button
at the encoder and access from the nurse call
system. Facility requirements must be determined to
select the appropriate mode of page initiation
methods. Calls can be made from one or more
specified encoder locations. These are designated
here as administrative locations. Generally the
PABX attendant will handle paging. If paging is not
required from the nurse call system, delete
paragraph C. Provide a page priority chart for
input/source. Coordinate priorities with user.
