Section 3: Audio
Functions
3.1 Paging
Users can page people on the premises using the intercom stations.
NOTE: Only one page can be performed at a time.
To initiate a page press the Page/Answer button on any station.
The station beeps twice. If no beeps are heard it is because another
conversation is already taking place. If the page is successful all
other stations that are not on “Do Not Disturb” will sound a rapid
beep. Talk into the audio station. The system broadcasts your
voice to all other interior audio stations.
To answer the page, press the Page/Answer button on another sta-
tion. The station beeps twice to indicate that a connection is estab-
lished between the intercom stations where the page was initiated
and answered. No other station will transmit the conversation.
The PC5936 automatically detects the source of the loudest voice
and uses this to control the direction of conversation. During a
page, the Do Not Disturb (DND) light will be on when the micro-
phone of the intercom station is active.
To end a page, either person can press the Page/Answer button. If
the PC5936 detects silence for 30 seconds, it will end the page.
3.2 Page Listens To All
You can program the system so that when a page is initiated, users
at all other intercom stations can respond “handsfree” for 30 sec-
onds (i.e. without pressing the Page/Answer button). Ports in
DND mode, or which have the Paging/Monitoring/Doorbell
Sounds option turned off will not be able to answer the page.
A user who wants to talk for longer than 30 seconds can press the
Page/Answer button to establish a private communication link. If
the page is not answered within 30 seconds, it will time out.
3.3 Cancelling a Page
To cancel a page, press the Page/Answer button a second time.
The page will automatically be cancelled if there is no response in
30 seconds.
3.4 Do Not Disturb
To avoid receiving pages, doorbox exterior intercom station calls
or incoming telephone calls, users can put a station on Do Not
Disturb (DND). To do this, press the Do Not Disturb button on the
station. The Do Not Disturb light on the station will come on to
indicate the unit is in Do Not Disturb mode.
To take a station off DND, press the Do Not Disturb button again.
The Do Not Disturb light on the station will go out.
