Resident Mode
Normally the M200+ room unit is said to be in 'RESIDENT MODE'. In this mode the
keypad is disabled so that the resident need only use the CALL button, PULL-CORD,
any remote switches or the PRIVACY button.
Privacy Button
The M200+ room unit display in 'RESIDENT MODE' has only 2 conditions; blank or the
following message:
PRIVATE
This message may be toggled on or off by pressing the PRIVACY button (The grey
button at the top of the unit).
When the display shows ‘ PRIVATE ’ the resident cannot be listened in to unless they
have made an alarm call. If the privacy button is pressed during speech the effect is
only temporary, returning to the previous setting when speech is finished.
The privacy button has several programmable options;
i. ‘Permanently On’ (the privacy button has no effect except during speech)
ii. ‘Permanently Off’ (the privacy button has no effect)
iii. Default to on. The unit will start in the ‘Privacy On’ state, (display ‘ PRIVATE ’) in
the event of a restart or power failure.
iv. Default to off. The unit will start in the ‘Privacy Off’ state, (display blank) in the
event of a restart or power failure.
Refer to the Installation Manual for details on programming the privacy options.
