tones were sounding, the first press of the [

back on.

2-Way Voice (optional)
This feature requires the installation of the 2-Way Voice board. It allows the person who
is called to both listen and talk to people near the Informa 300 or one of its remote
speaker/microphone units.
After the messages have played when reporting an alarm, it goes into the 2-Way Voice
mode. It keeps the line if speech is detected from either end. It hangs up 20 seconds after
speech stops. The 2-Way Voice mode only operates for a maximum of 4.25 minutes even
if speech stops. The 2-Way Voice mode only operates for a maximum of 4.25 minutes
even if speech is present. This prevents it from keeping the line forever if there is noise on
the line resembling speech, or if a radio or TV is playing near the Informa 300.
The 2-Way Voice mode can also be activated from a remote telephone following the
procedure:
