Reading status
Alert messages on the LCD panel
Alerts are informative messages that appear on the LCD panel of a Ringswitch for two seconds. They
temporarily override the normal display. Alerts indicate events such as a port failing to open. When
you use the paddle switch to view the Ringswitch LCD screens, the alerts are disabled for ten seconds to
allow you to read the LCD screens without the display being in terrupted by an alert.
See the Smart Ringswitch Family User Guide (part number 100-291) for lists of generic Ringswitch LCD
alert messages.
