HOT TIP!

It’s not just for panics. You can use the Panic Dial feature for automatic backup
of a satellite or alternative ISDN system by connecting it to that system’s Lock
output. Or connect it to a timer for automatic activation at repeating unsuper-
vised events (such as daily press conferences or meetings), or to an SPST switch
for one-touch access to the studio.

You might need the alert because ZephyrExpress picks up on the first ring... so there

won’t be a long ringing sound.
