emergency paging system
Sistema de aviso sobre emergencias con megáfono/altavoz/altoparlante


Explanation:
En edificios donde hay un número considerable de personas fuera del alcance de la voz de una sola persona, se pone en funcionamiento un sistema de altavoces para avisar a todos de manera simultánea en caso de que se presente una emergencia.
En inglés el verbo transitivo "to page", quiere decir "llamar por megafonía" . (Gran Diccionario Oxford Inglés Español. Oxford University Press, 3a ed. 2003).

Example sentence(s):
  • Dial the paging system and announce the drill.
  • Marque el sistema de altavoces y anuncie el simulacro.
