SECTION 5 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1Guest Instructions

Instructions on the telephone entry systems guide guest on the usage of the system and how to locate and call the resident that they wish to visit. The 1815 and 1817 systems utilize A and Z scroll buttons that a guest will use to locate the resident that they are wishing to visit. Pushing the A button will cause the resident directory to scroll up while pushing the Z button causes the resident directory to scroll down. Holding these buttons down will cause the system to scroll or page through the resident directory rapidly. Resident names are listed in the directory alphabetically.

Although the systems are similar in the way that they operate, they differ in the way that the resident information is presented to the guest. The 1815 electronic directory displays resident names (or apartment numbers) and their respective directory code on a single line while the 1817 system displays a page of eight resident names at a time. The 1803PC system relies on a separate directory to provide guest with resident directory information.

1.If the guest knows the residents directory code, they can simply enter it on the system keypad to place a call.

2.If the guest does not know the residents directory code, they must check the directory and find the code assigned to the person they wish to visit.

1803PC Systems - Guest must check the separate directory listing to locate the person they wish to visit to find their assigned directory code.

1815 Systems - Guest can use the A and Z buttons to locate the name in the directory. Once the residents name is displayed, the guest presses the CALL button and the system will connect to the resident’s telephone.

1817 Systems - Guest can use the A and Z buttons to locate the name in the directory. Once the residents name is displayed, the guest simply enters the directory code next to the residents name on the system keypad and the 1817 will connect to the resident’s telephone.

If the residents line is busy, the system will emit a busy signal. If this happens, the guest can press the # key or the CALL button to hang up and then try again. Residents can avoid missing calls (and guest) from the telephone entry system by ordering call waiting from the local telephone company.

DTMF Tones – The telephone entry system can output DTMF tones from the keypad AFTER a call has been answered. (This capability is only available on certain circuit boards. See page 8).

•If the # key is pressed by itself – the system will hang-up. Example: # = hang-up.

•If any key is pressed prior to the # key, then all keys pressed will emit DTMF tones. Example: 1 2 3 4 # = DTMF tomes for all buttons including the # key.

•If there is more than a 2-second delay between numbers and the # key, then the # key will hang-up the system.

Example: 1 2 3 4 - - - - - - # = hang-up.
