2. In some cases you may not be able to hear the person, party line etc. to whom you are talking. In such cases,
tap the listen key above the talk key. The listen key LED illuminates when the key is on. (See notes, below.)
3. When you are finished with your conversation, turn off the talk (and listen) keys.
Notes:
• When talking to another keypanel, you normally do not have to activate a listen key because the other keypanel
activates the listen path when it talks back. Usually, however, listen key activation is required when talking to
devices such as some belt packs or telephone interfaces. If desired, selected listen keys may be programmed to
automatically turn on whenever the corresponding talk key is pressed (auto-listen). For further information, see
Assigning a Special Function to a Key, page 17.
• On some occasions, when a particular talk key is pressed, the corresponding alpha-numeric display will
alternate between the normal display and a double asterisk (**). This indicates that the call cannot currently be
placed. There are two occasions when this happens. The first is when the key is assigned to an IFB and another
keypanel with a higher IFB priority is currently using the IFB. The second is when the talk key is assigned to a
person, party line, etc. of a remote intercom system, and there are currently no trunk lines available to route the
call.
• If desired, your keypanel may be programmed so that when any talk key is left in the on position, the LED in
the listen key directly above it will "wink" to remind you that there is an active talk key. Listen key wink is set
up at the time of installation. See "Listen Key Winking" in the Keypanel Installation Manual for further
information.
2.1.6
RECEIVING CALLS FROM OTHER KEYPANELS
1. When your keypanel or any of its expansion panels has a talk key assigned to the caller(s):
The talk key display for each caller will flash for about 15 seconds and each caller will be heard over your
loudspeaker or headset
2. When no keys are assigned to the caller(s):
a. If there is one caller, the caller's name will appear in the incoming messages window and the caller will
be heard over your loudspeaker or headset. To talk to the caller, hold down the incoming messages key.
When you are finished with your conversation, you can clear the caller's name from the incoming mes-
sages window by momentarily placing the incoming messages key in the Clear (up) position. If you do
not clear the caller's name within about 90 seconds it will clear automatically.
b. If one or more additional stations call while the first caller's name is displayed in the incoming messages
window, the incoming messages window will start to flash. To talk to the next caller, you must first clear
the previous caller from the incoming messages window by momentarily placing the incoming messages
key in the Clear position. Then press down on the incoming messages key to talk to the next caller.
The names of up to four callers will be stored for display in the incoming messages window. If you do not
clear the current caller's name within about 90 seconds, the name will automatically clear and the next
caller's name will be displayed. The incoming messages window will continue to blink until the last
caller's name is displayed.

The caller's name may also appear in the incoming messages window if Master Controller DIP switch 2 has been set to
the "On" position in the intercom matrix frame. In this case, steps 2a and 2b also apply.
