Room Status Control - Panasonic KX-TDA30 Features Manual

1.26.2 Room Status Control

Description
A PT with a 6-line display designated as the hotel operator extension can be used to view and change the
check-in and check-out status of guest rooms associated with extensions.
Any extension can be used as a room extension without special programming.
Flexible buttons on the hotel operator's extension can be set as Room Status Control buttons. Two buttons
are available:
• Check-in
Switches the status of selected extensions from Check-out to Check-in.
Telephone charges are cleared and Remote Extension Lock is turned off, allowing calls to be made
from the extension.
• Check-out
Switches the status of selected extensions from Check-in to Check-out.
Extension data, such as Timed Reminder or Last Number Redial data, is cleared, and Remote
Extension Lock is turned on, preventing some calls. This can be useful to prevent the extension in the
room from being used when no guest is checked in.
When checking an extension out, the operator can enter customer charges such as minibar charges.
A guest bill showing these charges, as well as call charges, can be printed. If necessary, the guest
charge data entered can be edited later, and the bill reprinted.
Pressing one of these buttons when the PT is idle switches to the applicable Room Status Control mode.
When in Room Status Control mode, the relevant Room Status Control button's light flashes red. In addition,
DSS buttons on the hotel operator's extension or a paired DSS Console show the room status of each
extension as follows:
