Timer Functions
Two timers are available on a keyboard unit.
• Elapsed Timer – This timer counts from zero (Ø) up.
• Event Timer – This timer counts from a pre-set time down to (Ø).
Elapsed Timer
There may be times when you need to time a phone call or consultation, how long a
certain task takes to complete, or how long you have been away from your desk. Acti-
vate the elapsed timer for this purpose.
While the timer is activated your Amtel functions normally. The unit can receive and
send alerts and messages. If, while your timer is activated, an alert, message, or re-
minder should come to your unit, the text will displace the time on your screen. Fol-
lowing the text display, the timer will again occupy the screen. Of course, there will be
no time interruption.
1. Press the
DELETE

key to activate the timer. The screen displays:
ELAPSED TIMER STARTED and then the day of the week, the timer in parentheses
with the seconds increasing, the current time, and the message counter on the right:
MON (ØØ-Ø4-35) 2:38 PM 5
(The timer above was started on Monday it has timed 4 minutes 35 seconds
as of 2:38 PM and 5 messages are stored.)
2. Press the
DELETE
/
TIMER
key to stop the timer. The screen displays: ELAPSED
TIME__ with the time in hours, minutes and seconds. The screen continues to
display the elapsed time until
CLEAR
is pressed.
Again, if an alert, message or reminder is received it will be displayed and
stored and the timer will return to the screen.
3. Press
CLEAR
. The screen returns to return to idle mode.
Event Timer
The event timer counts down from a pre-set time to Ø. When the timer reaches Ø, the
unit beeps five times.
There may be events or procedures that occur in your office that need to be timed. The
timer default set at Amtel for your unit is ØØ-3Ø (ØØ minutes and 3Ø seconds). Per-
haps your System Administrator will choose to change this default time. The maxi-
mum capacity of this timer is 99 minutes and 59 seconds (99-59).
