Operation
LCD Display and Push-button Operation
The front panel of the AMI Unit contains a two-line LCD display that reflects the current operational
status of the unit. During normal operation, the display shows the current time, default page line
selection, and the current date. Time is displayed in the HH:MM format. A flashing “:” between the hour
and minute display indicates the unit is active and running. The date displays in the MM-DD-YYYY
format. The LCD uses various symbols to visually indicate AMI activity. They are:
•
VU Meter – indicates relative volume of a playing message.
•
Progress Bar – indicates remaining time for the party line connection timeout (configured in ACT).
•
Telephone Handset – indicates the AMI unit is being accessed via a telephone connection, for a page
or for a telephone-to-party conversation.
•
Microphone – indicates a page from the auxiliary jack.
•
Speaker – indicates a page is being sent to the page output of the AMI.
•
Right/Left Arrow Indicators – indicate transmit and receive activity on the auxiliary jack.
•
Text Display (scrolling) – displays current system status, such as the name of the current message
playing, telephone connection status, paging status, and party connection status.
•
Rotating Slash – when visible, indicates the AMI has a lower priority message pending, ready to be
played.
In addition to the display providing system status, control buttons provide a way to access the AMI menu
to control various functions of the system. The wall-mount units include the control buttons inside of the
enclosure.
Pressing the
ENTER
button puts the AMI into the program selection mode. The
SELECT
button scrolls
through all available menu options. The buttons marked with up and down arrows allow you to scroll to
select settings.
