Operation
For paging and subsequent party line conversation, the station operator lifts the handset, selects a free
party line using the five-position rotary selector switch (if equipped), and presses the handset pressbar.
The station operator pages the desired individual and designates the party line on which that individual
should respond. The individual then responds by approaching the nearest ICS Page/Party
® station,
selecting the appropriate party line and lifting the handset. Full-duplex communication can then be held
on the party line without broadcasting over the speakers. After the conversation is complete, all parties
should place the handset back on hook.
N OTE : The ICS Page/Party
® station incorporates a noise-canceling microphone to reduce transmitted
ambient noise. This requires the user to place the microphone as close as possible to his or her mouth.
