Overview of permanent duty stations
Basic function
Permanent duty stations are used for annunciating nurse calls. They
always annunciate staff follow calls, and for this reason they are
typically located in staff-only rooms, such as on-call rooms, where it
is vital to stay in touch with patient events. Permanent duty stations
are typically located away from patient rooms and staff lounges,
where quiet atmospheres prevail. Tones cannot be silenced on
permanent duty stations.
Permanent duty stations cannot be used to place nurse calls. They
can however, be used to answer calls from the nursing station or an
annunciator.
Permanent duty stations have only two buttons: Privacy for muting
outgoing audio, and Cancel for clearing calls.

stations.— the station always annunciates nurse calls.
• When nurse calls are received by the system, permanent duty
station Status lights start flashing red at the rate of the highest
priority call in the coverage area.
• When nurse calls are received by the system, permanent duty
stations start repeatedly sounding a tone at the rate of the
highest priority call in the coverage area.
