6.2.3. Order of Priority among Priority Broadcasts
Priority broadcasts are not broadcast all at once; rather, they are issued one at a time following a specific
order of priority, as follows.
Higher priority Lower priority
Timer-activated
automatic broadcasts
Telephone paging
General-purpose
broadcasts from
the FS-7000RM Microphone
announcements
from the FS-7000CP
Example: If a timer-activated automatic broadcast is in progress, only that broadcast will be performed, and
other broadcasts will not be made.
[Order of priority among the FS-7000RM units]
When multiple FS-7000RM units are connected, the following modes are available for determining broadcast
priority among them. Select the desired mode using the Function Switch on the rear of the FS-7000RF.
• Last-in-first-out (LIFO): Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit that last selected a broadcast area.
• First-in-first-out (FIFO): Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit that first selected a broadcast area, and
broadcasts from other FS-7000RM units are not possible until that broadcast has
been finished.
• Individual: Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit with the lowest address number.
• None: All of the FS-7000RM units that have selected a broadcast area can make
broadcasts. In this event, all of the audio signals output from all of the FS-7000RM
units will be mixed.
[When a higher-priority broadcast occurs during a priority broadcast]
• In areas with the higher-priority broadcast: The lower-priority broadcast is interrupted to allow the higher-
priority broadcast to go through.
• In other areas: If the system has been set to 1-channel broadcasting, the
general-purpose broadcast is stopped.
If the system has been set to 2-channel broadcasting, the
priority broadcast already in progress is interrupted, but BGM
broadcasts continue.
When the higher-priority broadcast is finished, other broadcasts resume as follows:
• BGM broadcasts: Return to original state.
If other high-priority broadcasts were in progress:
• Announcements from the FS-7000CP microphone resume.
• Announcements from the FS-7000RM resume.
• Telephone paging resumes if the paging is still being operated.
6.2.4. "Normal" Mode and "Urgency" Mode All-Zone Calls
All-zone calls originating from the FS-7000CP or FS-7000RM are available in 2 modes: "Normal" and
"Urgency." For the FS-7000CP, set the desired all-zone call mode using the All-Zone Call Mode Selector
Switch on its rear panel, and for the FS-7000RM, use the Function Switch on the rear of the FS-7000RF. All
all-zone call* broadcasts will be made using whichever mode has been set.
• Normal Mode: Broadcast volume can be controlled by the attenuator.
• Urgency Mode: The attenuator volume control is bypassed, allowing broadcasts in all areas to be made at
maximum volume. (This assumes installation of the FS-7000AT.)
*Announcements made using the All-Zone Call Button on the FS-7000CP or the All-Zone Call Key on the FS-
7000RM.
