More information

Attendants cancel an alert by pressing the crisis alert button three times. The first button push
turns off the siren, the second stops the lamp from flashing, and the third clears the display.
Digital telephone users cancel the siren by pushing the crisis alert button. If you have set the
system so that only one user needs to respond, this stops the alerting at all telephones. If all
users must respond, each telephone continues to alert until that user presses the crisis alert
button to acknowledge the alarm. The emergency caller's name and extension remain on the
display at this point. To completely cancel an alert and clear their displays, users press the
Normal button.
Once you administer Crisis Alert, Communication Manager still records each emergency call
and sends a record to the journal printer, if available. If not, you can view the emergency log
with the command list emergency.
