Operating Instructions 

1.

 

General Information 
When  a  push  button  on  the  Talkaphone  Area  of  Rescue  Emergency  Analog 
Phone  is  pressed  it  will  automatically  either  ring  the  local  phone  or  dial  out 
using  the  phone  line  connected  to  the  Telco 

“IN”  port  according  to  how  the 

particular consolidator which it is connected is programmed.  If the phone line is 
being shared with another device (see page 5, sharing a line), the consolidator 
will seize the line on behalf of the emergency phone. 

 

When  a  call  comes  in  to  the  AOR-8  or  AOR-16,  an  LED  will  light  indicating 
which  phone  is  calling  in.    If  a  call  is  already  being  answered,  any  other  calls 
which  come  in  will  cause  the  appropriate  LED  to  blink  to  indicate  they  are 
awaiting an open line.  As soon as the initial call has been completed, any calls 
that were waiting will be put through in the order in which they were placed. 

 
2.

 

Calling  Talkaphone  Area  of  Rescue  Emergency  Analog  Phones  through  the 
Area of Rescue Command Unit 
To  call  from  a  remote  phone,  dial  the  telephone  number  of  the  Consolidator.  
To call from the local phone, simply pick up the phone and select the phone line 
corresponding  to  the  appropriate  consolidator.    In  either  case,  you  will  hear  3 
beeps when the consolidator is ready. 
 
Enter  the  code  to  route  to  an  Emergency  Phone,  *4X*  where  X=  phone  jack 
number 1-8.   There will be a short pause and then the Emergency Phone will 
answer with a series of tones. 
 
For  more  information  on  Emergency  Analog  Phones,  consult  the 
Emergency/Information Phone manual. 

 
3.

 

Answering the Emergency Analog Phones 
When  a  call  comes  in  on  either  the  local  phone  or  a  remote  phone,  the 
consolidators are effectively transparent.  That is, there will exist an open line of 
communication  to  the  Area  of  Rescue  Emergency  Analog  Phone  from  the 
moment the call is answered.
