Using the Director in Producer Mode

The first text line on the LCD tells you which mode you are in. You will see[Producer] if you are in this operation mode.

Answering calls

You use the left column of line buttons to answer calls on the handset (or headset).

The Next button will select the line which has been ringing longest. If no line is ringing, it selects the line which has been on normal hold longest. When the Next button is pressed, any lines not locked will be dropped (or put on hold, if your system is configured for “direct hold” operation).

Normal Hold

The left hold button places a call on normal hold.

Screened Hold

The right hold button places a call on “screened hold”. (This button’s keycap may be labeled with a check mark if the Desktop Director will be used primarily for screening.)

Designating the Next Call

Normally, when the talent presses his Next button, the call waiting on hold for the longest time is selected to air. However, the Producer can force any line to the top of the queue. You use the right column of line buttons to select which call is designated as next - the call that goes on-air when the talent presses his Next button. The line status icon will change to the blinking check mark.
