PROGRAMMING TALK AND LISTEN KEYS
3.5.1
GENERAL
There are three methods to program talk and listen keys. These methods are summarized below and explained on
the following pages.
Key Assignment using Keypad Numeric Entry: Using this method, you enter the panel number, party line
number etc. that you wish to assign to a key. This method requires that you know the number (not the name)
of the port, party line etc. that you wish to assign. Since most users do not have access to this information, this
method of key assignment is not recommended.
Key Assignment by Copying an Assignment: Using this method, you can copy an assignment from one key
to another. You can also use this method to transfer an incoming call to a talk key and/or listen key.
Key Assignment using Alpha Scrolling: Using this method, you scroll through a list in the incoming mes-
sages window and pick the alpha-numeric name of the panel, party line etc. that you wish to assign to a key.
Then you copy that name to a key. If descriptive names have been assigned (using the intercom system con-
figuration software) alpha scrolling is easiest to use.
Notes
• You can individually program each talk and listen if desired. However, in most cases, we recommend that you
use one of the special function assignments for the listen keys (see "Assigning a Special Function to a Key",
page 17). When you set a listen key for one of the special function assignments, you can change the
corresponding talk key assignment to anything you want, and the listen key will take on the same assignment
automatically.
• When you program a talk key, the name of the port, party line etc. that you have programmed will appear in the
alpha-numeric display above that key. If a listen key is programmed, the alpha-numeric display below that key
will briefly display the assignment, and after a few seconds the talk key assignment for that key will reappear.
To check listen key assignments at any time, enter FUNC__DISPLAY__3 on the keypad.

PROGRAMMING KEY ASSIGNMENTS USING KEYPAD NUMERIC ENTRY
When using numeric entry, each programming step must be completed within 4-5 seconds. Otherwise, the
sequence will automatically be cleared.
3.5.2.1
Point-to-Point Key Assignments
You use point-to-point key assignment when you want to program a key to talk/listen to a specific keypanel, belt
pack etc. To program a point-to-point key assignment:
1. Tap the NUM key.
