will be activated and it will be possible to send out the announcement hands-free.

At the end of the announcement, release the PTT key and press EMERGENCY again to exit the emergency

mode.

2.4.2. Sending out pre-recorded evacuation or alerting messages selectively

After activating the emergency with the EMERGENCY key (all the keys turn green to indicate general pre-selection), press the

buttons corresponding to the required zones. These will remain green to confirm that they have been selected. At this point:

• to send out an evacuation message, press EVAC

• to send out an alert message, press ALERT

It is possible to carry out the procedure described above several times to add more zones both in the ALERT and in the EVAC

modes, keeping in mind that selection of EVAC for a zone has priority over selecting ALERT.

2.4.3. Sending out service messages hands-free

Select the required zones, which will turn green. Press the PTT key and hold it down, waiting for the BUSY LED to turn OFF,

indicating the end of the chime. At this point, the microphone is active and it is possible to send out the announcement

handsfree. To end the announcement, release the PTT key.

2.4.4. Sending out messages selectively using the function keys

It is possible to send out messages or announcements to pre-selected groups of zones using the same procedures and

sequences indicated above, with regard to both emergencies and service broadcasts. To this end, the station has 6 function

keys (F1 to F6). To set the function keys, consult point 3.1, Function key configuration (page 9).

2.5. Resetting emergency messages / Muting the buzzer to acknowledge a failure

The RESE / ACK key (4) has different functions depending on the status of the system:

• RESET function | Resetting messages

While there is an alarm condition in progress or with a station in the emergency condition, keeping the RESET / ACK key

pressed for 2 seconds enables sending out of the messages to be stopped (including those called up by activation of the

control inputs), but keeping in any case the system in a condition of emergency.

• ACK function | Muting of the buzzer to acknowledge a failure

In the presence of failures, press the RESET / ACK key briefly. The buzzer will be muted only on the station, while the LED

referred to the failure under way will remain ON. This function is active in any status of the station (emergency or service). In

the event of a new additional failure, the buzzer will start to sound again.
