B. Speed-Team Drive-Thru Operation
Speed team operation is used during high-volume times. Placing the speed-team button on
the base station in the ON position will disable the speaker and microphone in the speaker
post or menu board, and disable the vehicle-alert tone. An order taker wearing a
Communicator relays orders from outside into the store using the “B” channel.
C. Remote Display Operation
One or more R30 Remote Displays may be used with your System 400. Each remote
display was set up by the installer to show the amount of time the current car has been at
the menu board, speaker post or service window. A remote display shows the time for one
location only. It begins counting when the car arrives and stops when the car leaves. The
remote displays will only display time. They will not store or record information.
D. Message Repeater Operation and Setup
To record messages on the System 400 internal message repeater, press the MESSAGE
REPEATER button IN on the base station and do the following.
After a new message has been recorded, or after the base station has lost and
regained power, any message to the menu board will always be heard in the
Communicator headset the first three times it plays.
To change the message repeater setup, locate and set the S8 and S10 DIP switches at
the bottom of the System 400 Base Station audio circuit board. Refer to the S8 AND S10
DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS tables to the right for S8 and S10 switch functions.
If a System 30 Timer is installed with the System 400, the timer alert output can be used to
trigger tones in the headset or to cause a message to be played. Set S8 and/or S10,
switch #5 to OFF for an alert tone (triple beep), which will be heard only in headsets, or to
ON for recorded messages to be heard through selected speakers and headsets.
If a System 400 is installed without a System 30 Timer, set both S8 and S10 switches #5 to
OFF so the message repeater input will be triggered only by vehicle detector signals.
S8 AND S10 DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS
Refer to Figure 30 on page 23 for DIP switch locations.
