5.5.1 Placing a talk-with-listen key in monitor mode
Monitor mode enables you to momentarily change the status of a key from listen-only to
talk-with-listen. By pressing and holding the listen-only key, you momentarily change it to
a talk-with-listen key.
To activate the monitor mode of a talk-with-listen key:
1. Press the LISTEN key on the function key module for less than one second (tap
the key). The LISTEN key is lit bright green .
To indicate that its monitor mode is available for activation, each talk-with-listen
key is lit
dim green.
2. To place a talk-with-listen key in monitor mode, press (tap) a dim-green key.
To indicate its change to an active listen-only key, the key is lit bright green .
3. To talk to the source, press and hold the key.
To indicate that a talk-with-listen call is active, the key is lit bright red . When you
release the key, it reverts back to its active listen-only mode ( bright green ).
Note:
The talk-with-listen function cannot be latched, and is only active while you press
the key.
To cancel the key’s monitor mode and revert back to talk-with-listen mode:
1. Press (tap) the LISTEN key on the function-key module.
2. Tap the desired active listen-only key ( bright green ).
The formerly active listen-only key is now lit dim red to indicate that it has reverted
back to its non-active talk-with-listen mode. If you press the key to talk, it is lit
bright red .
Note:
You must tap the LISTEN key on the function key module for each key you activate
in monitor mode.
5.5.2 Sending call signals
A call signal is an electronic signal that is sent from one user panel or interface to another
to:
• Get a panel operator’s attention.
• Activate a relay (for example, to open a door, set off an alarm, or activate a public
address (PA) system).
