Code Calls
About code
calls A code call indicates an emergency. When you make a
code call, it causes special ringing (four quick rings) at a
station dedicated to receive code calls (there may be
several code calling stations within your facility). The
person receiving the call uses the paging system to
announce the emergency or give instructions. Keep a list
of the code calling access codes for each dedicated station
and their locations near your console.
Placing a code
call Follow this procedure to place a call:
1 Press <START>.
2 Dial the desired code calling access code. The code
call is sent to the dedicated station.
Note: Code calling access codes can be programmed as
autodial numbers. See
“Determining if a key is
programmed” on page 2-94 for instructions.
Receiving a
code call If you are designated as a code calling station, code calls
ring with a special ringing pattern (four quick rings) at
your <CODE> and/or <ANS> keys. If you receive a code
call, use zone paging to announce the emergency or give
instructions. Keep a list of zone numbers near your
console.
