5.1.8 Store & recall groups of zones
Two function keys labelled store and recall may be used to program groups of zones into a single number recall, just as
your telephone might have a "quick dial" memory function.
To store a group of zones
First press the store button on the paging console. Then select the zones you wish to group together. Once the desired
zones are selected, press store again. You can now assign a group number using the numbered buttons (1 to 8). If you
have previously stored a group of zones in the memory, these buttons will illuminate. Press store to complete the process.
Note that you may select one of the previously stored group numbers, however this will overwrite the existing stored zone
selections.
The screen will now prompt you to label your stored group of zones. This allows quick visual feedback to the user when
selecting groups of zones, examples of labels might include: All W/house, Bar&Lobby, Sales&Yard etc. Plug in a standard
USB PS2 compatible keyboard (Altronics D 2111) into the rear of the A 4481 paging console and type in your desired
label. The maximum label length is 10 characters. Press backspace to delete letters. Hold down the shift key for capital
letters. Press return (enter) when finished.
If a zone label is not required, press cancel to complete the process of storing a group of zones.
Note: if the keyboard is not operational, it may need to be unplugged and connected again.
To recall zones
Press the recall button. Any buttons which are programmed with groups of zones will illuminate. If any of these groups
were given a label then these will show on the LCD.
Select one of the illuminated buttons to recall. The zones stored in this group will then illuminate automatically.
Hold down the page (PTT) switch and speak into the microphone. Press cancel when finished or the unit will time out
automatically after ˜15 seconds.
5.1.9 Emergency Override
The A 4481 is fitted with an emergency paging override which routes paging to all zones even those which are blocked.
To initiate the emergency paging press the red emergency paging button. The LCD will display the image shown below
and all the zone buttons will illuminate to show that all zones will be paged.
At this stage paging override hasn't been activated. To activate emergency paging hold down the page (PTT) switch and
speak into the microphone. If the pre-annoucement chime DIP switch is set on the chime will sound. The LCD will display
the image shown below.
5.1.10 Paging Console Busy
If the system has two A 4481 paging consoles connected there will be times when both units may be needed at the same
time. If one of the paging consoles is in use the second console will be notified and the busy LED will illuminate and the
LCD will display the image shown below.
