Assigning a message to a zone group (SA models only)

On the SA models, any one of the message sound les on the SD memory card

may be assigned to a zone group. In this case, when a GROUP is selected, the

LED corresponding to the message will illuminate as well as those for the zones

comprising the group. When the TALK/SEND button is pressed, the message that has

been assigned to the group will automatically be broadcast to the zones comprising

the group. A chime le will be assigned at the same time – see the following section

“Assigning a chime to a zone group” for details of how to alter this.

To include a message in a group denition, simply press the button for the required

message as well as the zone buttons during Step 1 of the zone denition procedures on

the previous page. The CLEAR button may be used to cancel an incorrect selection.

Assigning a chime to a zone group (SA models only)

Pre-recorded messages broadcast by manually selecting the message and its

destination zone(s) may be preceded by one of two pre-announcement chimes. See

“Chime settings – SA models only l” on page 39 for details of how to do this.

Zone groups allows greater exibility in chime assignment. When a message is

assigned to a zone group as described above, the chime le with the same number

as the selected message le is assigned as well. Thus if message button 3 is pressed

along with the zone buttons dening the zone group, then message le M_3.mp3 (or

M_3.wma) and chime le C_3.mp3 (or C_3.wma) are assigned to the zone group.

However, it is possible for any of the chime sound les on the SD memory card to be

assigned to a zone group, whether or not a message is to be assigned to the group.

The procedure for dening a group with a different chime is as follows:

1. Select the zones for the group with the ZONE buttons; the selection will be

conrmed by the adjacent LEDs.

2. If a pre-recorded message is to be assigned to the group, press the relevant

MESSAGE button; its LED will illuminate.

3. Press and hold down a GROUP button until the LEDs ash (approx. 5 s).

4. While the LEDs are ashing, the MESSAGE buttons temporarily act as CHIME

buttons. If no further buttons are pressed, the chime that will be assigned to the

group will be that having the same number as the selected message – this is the

default state.

5. If a different chime is required, press the MESSAGE button corresponding to that

chime number.

6. If no chime is required, press the message button with the ashing LED; the LED

will go out. The group will now not have a chime assigned.

7. Release the GROUP button.
