The Call Block indicator in the Console Status area appears dimmed when Call Blocking is turned off.

Note: Your system may be programmed to turn Call Blocking on and off for all affected rooms at certain times of the day and for individual rooms at check-in/check-out time.

Monitoring Guest Rooms

Guests can use their room phone as a listening device to monitor their room from a remote station. The remote station can be an attendant console, an extension, or an outside phone calling into the system on a special line (i.e., a DISA trunk).

To use the console to listen in on a room that has room monitoring activated

You can only monitor a room from an idle console.

1.Select Guest Services on the Tools menu.

2.Select Room Monitor.

3.Dial the room number using the console keypad.

4.Listen for three short beeps followed by audio from the room.

If room monitoring is not activated on the room phone, you will hear reorder tone or a beep.

If you see ‘Monitor Busy,’ then another extension is already monitoring the room.

If you see ‘Class Restricted’ or ‘Access Disallowed,’ then the room cannot be monitored because of restrictions on the console or the room phone.

To disconnect the console from the room

•Press Cancel or Release.
