and the faults which occur must specify valid Call Lists as programmed above. During
Run and Halt mode activities, all channels are monitored and all channels receive
updates on condition, totalizer, time-in-alarm, and total time value. If the dialer is able to
make calls, the message window on the System Status Screen (available by depressing
the HALT key) will display the message, [*Call Mode is Active*].

Putting the System into the Inactive or Halt Mode
The system may be taken out of the active Run mode by depressing the HALT key.
Because the system is engaged in so may activities, it may take several seconds for the
system to gracefully disengage from one function and return to the Halt mode. When
the system does achieve the Halt mode, the Current Mode indicator on the LCD panel

mode where it will not place calls, the message window will display the message, [*Call
Mode is Not Active*].
