Answering calls during a PC or power failure

If the PC power fails, switch the PFT switch at the back of the PCCIU from 1 (On) to 0 (Off). This places the PCCIU in Position Busy status.

Alternately, you can remove the console from service by unplugging the headset or handset

from the PCCIU. See “Night/Busy” on page 3.
