Display Status Messages

The following messages are used to display the state of the DS-4 during normal operation. More information on display status messages 
can be found in the Vocia Help File.  

  1. 

 Destination Idle

: This status message indicates that the paging station is ready and there are no busy zones among  

the destinations selected by the Page Code. 

  2. 

 No Network

: This status message indicates that the DS-4 is not connected to a functioning network.  

Please check network connections and settings.  

  3. 

 Destination Busy

: This status message signifies that at least one of the destination zones is busy with a lower priority page.  

When paging into a busy zone, the lower priority message will be lost.  

  4. 

 Destination Delay

: This status message indicates that at least one of the destination zones is busy with a page of equal priority. 

When paging into a busy zone at an equal priority, the message will be recorded in the DS-4 locally and played when the busy zones 
become available.

  5. 

 Not Available

: This status message indicates that the selected Page Code is not available. The message “Code Barred”  

or “Undefined” will appear in the top left corner of the display. Please choose a different Page Code or assign the selected  
Page Code to the DS-4. 

  6. 

 Please Wait

: This status message signifies that the PTT button has been pressed and the system is assigning paging resources  

and playing the chime. Simultaneously, the yellow LED below the “Wait” icon will illuminate. 

  7. 

 Request Failed

: This indicates that the PTT button has been pressed and the request has failed. If a recorded message  

is associated with this Page Code, please check that an MS-1 is online and configured to play the announcement.     

  8. 

 Please Talk Now

: This status message indicates that the PTT button has been pressed, the page has been correctly set up in the 

system, any assigned chime has finished playing, and the audio path is open. This status message corresponds with the green LED 
illuminated below the “Please Talk Now” icon.

  9. 

 Request Queued

: This status message reports that the selected Page Code represents a request to play a recorded announcement. 

When the zone(s) are ready to receive the announcement, the message will be played and the DS-4 will return to the Destination Idle state.  

10. 

 Cancel Request?

: This status message indicates that the selected Page Code is a Delayed Release page. Once the PTT button  

is released, the “Cancel” prompt will flash on the display. The “Cancel Request?” message is displayed for five seconds. If the user 
presses the Cancel button within this five-second period, the recorded page will be discarded and the system will return to idle status. 
If five seconds elapses and the user does not press the Cancel button, the message will be released for playback as soon as all 
destination zones are available. 

11. 

 Page Will End in “x” Secs

: This status message is displayed when a page termination is imminent (either due to lack of memory  

or a timeout). The “x” signifies a value in seconds.
