Nurse Call Feature

The Avant 9600 features a nurse call circuit that can be connected to a facility nurse call system,
allowing alarm conditions to be recognized at a central monitoring location and on the
Avant 9600. Two switches located on the back of the 9600 under the back cover allow users to
activate the Nurse Call feature.
