Example:
“Elevator number 1215, located in the Financial Building, needs assistance. Press the asterisk (
Q
) key on
your telephone to hear this announcement again.”
The
1600A
series phone can be programmed to recognize the double ring
cadence that is typical of many phone systems. If the
1600A
series phone is
connected to an extension that provides a double ring cadence, enabling this
mode will allow for proper call progress detection.

Note:
This feature is disabled in the factory default setting.
With the lap counter disabled (factory setting), if the
1600A
series phone
is programmed to dial the next number on ring-no-answer and/or busy
signal (see page 6-7), the
1600A
series phone will continuously call its
programmed phone numbers forever until the call is answered.
The lap counter is a programmable counter that determines how many times the
1600A
series phone will cycle
through its list of up to 5 emergency number (or up to 3 “Info” phone numbers), before it stops the dialing process
and hangs up. When all of the programmed phone numbers have been dialed, the lap counter is incremented and
the dialing process repeats. When the lap counter has been met, the dialing process stops and the
1600A
series
phone hangs up.

Note:
This feature is disabled in the factory default setting.
When attempting to program the
1600A Series
phone, if the phone number of the line it is connected to is not known,
the phone can be set to automatically call Viking technical support for assistance. With DIP switch 3 set to OFF
(programming mode), pushing the CALL button will cause the
1600A Series
phone to call Viking, whether it be
connected directly to a CO line, or behind a "dial 9" PBX.
The
1600A Series
phone will first dial 9, and then listen for second dial tone; if detected it will continue to dial Viking’s
assisted programming phone number. If a second dial tone is not detected, it then knows is not behind a PBX, so it will
momentarily hang up and then directly dial Viking’s assisted programming phone number. Since this is a long distance
phone call, the line must be capable of placing long distance calls for the call to go through. When finished programming,
it is very important to set DIP switch 3 back to ON (normal operating mode), and place a test emergency call to be sure
all programming was done properly.
Warning: Failure to set DIP switch 3 back to ON when finished programming will cause the 1600A
Series phone to call Viking Technical Support, instead of your programmed number. Yet, as a fail-safe
measure, after 3 calls to Viking, the unit will ignore switch 3 and dial its programmed phone numbers.
