General Dos and Don’ts
When making an announcement:
•
Think what you need to say before making the announcement.
•
Speak slowly and clearly in a normal speaking voice.
•
Don’t “swallow” the microphone; unless you are in a particularly noisy
environment your mouth need be no closer than 4 - 5 inches (10 – 12 cm) from
the mic.
•
Don’t start speaking before you press the TALK button, and then wait until the
pre-announcement chime (if active) has sounded in full before starting.
•
Don’t release the TALK button until the announcement is finished.
•
Don’t twist the gooseneck into odd shapes – it isn’t a toy!
Paging one or more zones
1. Press the ZONE button(s) for the zone(s) to which the announcement is to
be made; the LEDs corresponding to the selection will illuminate. (An incorrect
selection may be cancelled with the CLEAR button.)
2. To start announcing, press and hold down the TALK button (the BUSY LED
illuminates).
3. Make the announcement.
4. Zones may be selected/deselected while the TALK button is pressed.
5. When the announcement is finished, release the TALK button.
NOTE: Once the talk button is released, the zone selection may either automatically
clear or remain set for further announcements, depending on how the unit was
configured at installation. If it remains set, it may be cleared by pressing the CLEAR
button.
