2.1.6.1 FREV/FFWD/PLAY/STOP Button Functions in PLAY Mode

When a message is playing, the functions of the top row of buttons change:

FREV performs a Fast REVerse function, identical to the Fast Rewind mode of a tape

recorder, "rewinding" at a high rate toward the beginning of the message. While the

button is pressed, the real-time clock will display the time/date relative to the audio.

Also, the audio will be clipped, similar to the SKIP mode of a compact disc player.

Once released, message play resumes at normal speed.

FFWD performs a Fast ForWarD function, identical to the Fast Forward mode of a

tape recorder, advancing towards the end of the message. While the button is pressed,

the real-time clock will display the time/date relative to the audio. Also, the audio will

be clipped, similar to the SKIP mode of a compact disc player. Once released, message

play resumes at normal speed.

PLAY is relabled as PAUSE during message play. When pressed, the message will

pause playback, with the relative real time and date displayed at the relative paused

location. Play resumes when the PLAY button is pressed again.

The button toggles between message play and pausing.

STOP causes message play to stop and places the console in the MESSAGE SEARCH

mode.

The NORMal/SLOW button is used to vary the speed of playback. When

the console is playing a message, pressing this button will cause playback

speed to decrease, with no change in audio pitch. The play mode

(NORM/SLOW) is always displayed in the center of the LCD third line. Pressing the

button a second time causes playback to resume at normal speed.

The SAVE/CLEAR button is used to mark a message in memory as

SAVED; it is not automatically cleared by the system. The CLEAR function

is only available to Supervisory personnel.
