Room Monitor
Description
Room Monitor lets an extension user listen to the sounds in a co-workers area. For example, the
receptionist could listen for sounds in the warehouse when it’s left unattended. To use Room Moni-
tor, the initiating extension and the receiving extension must activate it.
When using keysets for monitoring, an extension user can only Monitor one extension at a time.
However, many extensions can Monitor the same extension at the same time.
With single line phones, multiple SLTs can be programmed to be monitored by the same SLT. How-
ever, only one SLT can monitor another SLT at a time.
Room Monitor for Single Lines
This option enables you to monitor the room status through your single line telephone. Between
keysets, the monitored room status is picked up by the phone’s microphone and the activity is heard
through the speaker of the monitoring keyset. Between single line phones, a user goes off hook on
the monitored phone and, from another single line phone, dials a service code and the extension
number. The activity of the area where the monitored phone is placed can then be heard at the mon-
itoring phone. This service is available until the handset of the monitored telephone is placed on
hook.

advice should be sought prior to implementing any practice that monitors or records any
