Canceling a Normal Call
Press the station’s CANCEL button to cancel a normal call from a patient or staff/duty
station. (This will also cancel any calls of other priorities placed from this station.)
See Figure A-3 on page A-4. When you do, this happens:
•
The station’s CALL LED extinguishes.
•
The associated corridor light extinguishes.
•
The tone ceases at the base master.
•
The call disappears from the base master and the video display (if present).
•
The call disappears from stations where the system monitor function is active or from
staff/duty stations where staff presence is registered.
Notes:
Normal calls are also canceled when answered by the base master, or when a staff mem
-
ber registers presence in the same room as the patient station. However, a priority call or
a call placed from an emergency station associated with the patient station can only be
canceled by pressing the emergency station’s CANCEL button.
Placing a Priority Call
Press the station’s CALL, CODE BLUE, or STAFF EMERG button to place a pro-
grammed priority, code blue, or staff emergency call from a patient or staff/duty station.
See Figure A-3 on page A-4. When you do, this happens:
•
The station’s CALL LED illuminates to confirm call placement.
•
The associated corridor light illuminates and flashes at a designated rate.
•
The call appears at the base master and at the video display (if present).
•
A tone sounds at the station and at the base master.
•
A tone sounds at any station where the system monitor function is active (default) or
any staff/duty station where presence is registered.
•
If presence is registered, the corresponding staff level and SYSTEM MONITOR LEDs
flash.
Note:
Pressing CALL will only place a priority call when the station has been assigned a prior
-
ity designation. See Assigning Station Call Priorities on page 2-19.
