Accepting a call. (Accepting a non-speech call)
To prevent several members of staff from responding to the same call, calls are
‘accepted’ at the display units. To accept a call, simply wait until the call you wish to
accept is shown on the top line of the display, and press the Accept Call button. It is only
possible to accept Standard and Assistance calls shown previously. If you are accepting a
non-speech call point (such as a toilet or door point) then the call will be removed from
the display and the sounder silenced for a pre-set period of time.
Accepting a call and speaking to a calling resident.
To accept and speak to a resident, the procedure is the same as ‘accepting a call’ above.
Wait until the call you call you wish to speak to is shown on the top line of the display,
press & release the Accept Call button. Once the word “speech open” appears, you will
be able to hear the caller. Press and hold the Accept Call button when talking to the
resident. Once the conversation is complete, press the Show Staff button once to close
the intercom. (The speech channel will close after 60 seconds automatically)
Speech Busy.
To indicate to all other users that the speech channel is in use, ‘Speech Busy’ appears on
the lower line of all other displays on the system and this is shown to the left. On all other
displays, new calls will be shown using the top line of the LCD only and calls may be
accepted (as non-speech calls) but the intercom facility will not activate.
Locating other members of staff.
To locate other members of staff, press and hold the Show Staff button on any display
panel. On the left, a member of staff is present in Bedroom 14, indicated by the small ‘p’
and a member of staff is dealing with the call from the Lounge, indicated by the small ‘v’.
Paging all other members of staff.
To page all staff, simply press and hold the Talk button and speak to all other displays
and call points in staff present mode. This is only possible when no calls are active on the
system and is not possible when ‘Speech Busy’ is displayed on the lower line of the
LCD.
