About code calls

A code call indicates an emergency. When you make a code call, it causes special ringing (four quick rings) at a station dedicated to receive code calls (there may be several code calling stations within your facility). The person receiving the call uses the paging system to announce the emergency or give instructions. Keep a list of the code calling access codes for each dedicated station and their locations near your console.

Placing a code Follow this procedure to place a call: call

1Press <START>.

2Dial the desired code calling access code. The code call is sent to the dedicated station.

Note: Code calling access codes can be programmed as autodial numbers. See “Determining if a key is programmed” on page 2-94 for instructions.

Receiving a code call

If you are designated as a code calling station, code calls ring with a special ringing pattern (four quick rings) at your <CODE> and/or <ANS> keys. If you receive a code call, use zone paging to announce the emergency or give instructions. Keep a list of zone numbers near your console.
