Zone groups
Zones may be ‘grouped’ together to simplify the procedure for paging several zones
simultaneously.
Defining a group of zones
1. Select the zones for the group with the ZONE buttons; the selection will be
confirmed by the adjacent LEDs. (An incorrect selection may be cancelled
with the CLEAR button.)
2. Press and hold down one of the GROUP buttons until the zone LEDs flash.
3. Release the GROUP button.
NOTE: This feature may not be available, depending on how the unit has been
configured.
Paging a zone group
1. Press the GROUP button for the required zone group.
2. Press and hold down the TALK button.
3. Make the announcement.
4. Zones may be selected/deselected during the announcement.
5. Release the TALK button.
Announcement Interruption (Multiple PM systems only)
If the system has more than one PM microphone, it is possible that announcements
may be attempted from different microphones simultaneously. Priority assignments
made during the system installation can prevent two microphones on the network
from making an announcement at the same time. You may therefore find that your
announcement is temporarily overridden by another announcement, from a PM with
higher priority.
If your announcement conflicts with one from a higher priority microphone, yours
will be cut off and the interrupting announcement will take over. The interrupted
PM will indicate this condition by the ZONE LEDs flashing. The selection LEDs will
remain lit so that you can attempt your announcement once the system is free.
