Immediate Commands; Set-Up Mode - OTRONA ATTACHE Series Manual

Alarms
Note: If the alarm is for an Immediate Command Line, the command will
begin execution after the alarm has sounded. If you are working on
another program and are unsure about the alarm type when the alarm
sounds, press
crRL
and
BACK SPACE
simultaneously.
If the alarm is an Immediate Command Line, it will be changed to a
Command Line for four minutes rather than begin execution immediately.
This gives you time to save your work in progress if an immediate alarm
type is pending and you are not ready for it.
Messages are "cleared" from the alarm system after you answer them unless
you reschedule them. If the message is for a repetitive type alarm
(such as a 1 uncheon appointment, staff meeting, etc.) it might be more
convenient to reschedule it and revise the message rather than retype it
later as a new alarm.
Co.mand
Lines are executed immediately after you answer them unless you
reschedule them. If you are using another program when a scheduled
command line is answered, reschedule it for a time when you are not using
the machine.
Immediate
Co.mand
Lines do not require intervention on your part. When an
alarm sounds for an immediate command line, execution of the scheduled
program begins automatically.
Immediate Command Lines should not be scheduled for times when you may be
using your computer. The immediate command will supersede the program
you are working on and your work in progress will be lost. If an
immediate command line is pending during the time you are using the
machine, reschedule the alarm for a later time.
Again, you may temporarily postpone an immediate command line by pressing
crRL
and
BACK SPACE
simultaneously during the time when the alarm is
sounding. The alarm is then changed to a regular command line for a
period of four minutes.
During this time, you may activate Set-up Mode to evaluate the alarm,
reschedule the alarm, or initiate execution of the command by activating
Set-up Mode. If no action is taken, the alarm reverts to its original
status as an immediate command line and begins automatic execution of the
scheduled command after four minutes.
Rescheduling

.Al.a.IJIw
Alarms may be rescheduled in two ways:
(1) you can review, revise, and reschedule an alarm in advance, or
(2) you can revise and reschedule when the alarm sounds and is displayed
at its scheduled time.
