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 phone 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 phones. If all users must respond, each phone
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
