ESTABLISHING NIGHT SERVICE

If your system has extra-alerting devices such as bells or flashing lights, you can use them to provide Night Service for your business when the person who usually answers calls is not on duty. Three extra-alerting devices can be connected to the optional Services Module in the control unit to alert people to incoming calls. Follow- ing the procedure below, you can assign individual lines to activate each of the extra- alerting devices for Night Service. You can assign each line to only one extra-alerting device.

1.If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25.

2.Touch Night Service.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing, and the green light next to Night Service remains on.

3.One by one, touch each line button to be covered by Night Service until the green light beside the line button shows the appropriate code. Each successive touch gives you one of the following codes:

Steady green on = line activates alerting device7 Flashing green = line activates alerting device 2 Rapidly flashing green = line activates alerting device 3

Green off = line does not ring at an alerting device

4. Touch Night Service.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons flash again.

5.Continue to administer your system, or leave administration mode by following the boxed instructions on page 25.
