Operating Instructions

Automatic Standby: On and Off

When Automatic Standby is on, the order taker's microphone and the order
point microphone turn off when the vehicle is no longer detected.

Vehicle Detector: Presence or Ignored

When the vehicle detector is on (in presence mode), a car entering the order
point is sensed and the ordering system reacts according to the order taking
mode. When the vehicle detector is off (ignored), Automatic Listen, Automatic
Talk, and Automatic Standby are unavailable. Only Outside or Always On order
taking modes are recommended when the vehicle detector cannot be used.

Order Point: Used or Not Used

When the order point is used, customers can order using any of the typical order
taking modes, with the exception of the Outside mode (see below for
explanation).

Which Order Taking Mode to Select

Each order taking mode is designed for a specific purpose so you do not need to
manually select the modes for the individual components and potentially end up
with a non-working configuration.
ML/PTT, ML/MLT, AL/PTT, AL/MLT, and Hands free should be selected for
typical ordering configurations where all of the drive thru employees are inside
of the building and all of the equipment is working properly. The choices
between them tend to vary according to the number of people available, how
many duties they must perform simultaneously, and possibly employee
preferences.
If you plan to have the order taker standing outside with a headset, Outside
mode is the best choice. The order point speaker, microphone, and vehicle
detector are disabled. This allows hands free communication to staff inside the
store for order entry and/or special requests.
If the vehicle detector is not functioning properly, Always On mode is the best
choice. The microphone at the order point is on continuously, regardless of the
status of the vehicle detector. Typically, when a vehicle detector fails, it reports
the presence of a vehicle continuously, which functions as (bookmark).

Split Lane

separates the communications between the two base stations.
