Calling a master station from door station and communicating

There are two priority levels for calls from door stations,

"Normal"and "Priority".

1. Press the door station CALL button.

2. The calling tone rings on the master station (for a normal call, an intermittent tremolo sound; for a priority call, a rapid intermittent tremolo sound) and the selector button LED for the individual door station flashes (two flashes in a row for a priority call). If the door station has a camera, the video from the door station is displayed on the master station monitor. The call tone continues to ring until answered or is timed out (based on setting). You can stop calling tone by pressing the OFF button.

3. If you press the individual door station selector button, the LED stops flashing and stays lit and you can talk hands-free to that station. If only the TALK button is pressed to answer a call, hands-free communication initiates with the door station at the highest priority call. The Talk LED lights when you talk and goes off as you listen to the caller.

4. Press the OFF button again to end the communication. The call also ends automatically when the set talk time limit is reached.

NOTES: 1. If you hold down the TALK button for at least one

second, communication switches to press-to-talk mode. Hold down the TALK button to talk and release to listen to the caller. You cannot switch back from press-to-talk communication to hands-free communication.

3. The microphone is muted while you hold down the privacy button on the master station at communication.

4. You can connect a footswitch and use it the same way as the TALK button.

5. The master station can display calls up to eight stations at the same time. If more than eight calls, they will be displayed in order of priority.

6. You can adjust the calling tone, transmit volume, and receive volume with the volume controls at the bottom of the master station.

7. You can use a headset (not included in the system) instead of built-in the master station's speaker and microphone.
