Assigning System Reminders
You can set the DX-120 system to alert all phones at predetermined intervals during the day; you can choose up to
eight reminders.
You specify the play time, which tells the system how long (from 1 to 10 minutes) to play the music.
The system uses the music source connected to the MC1 connector for the system reminder (unless the internal music
source is selected by an option strap on the CPM-- refer to the Vertical DX-120 Installation and Maintenance Manual
which can be found on the Vertical CCC website (www.vertical.com/service-login.html).
When the system reaches the time a reminder is to start, it plays the output from the internal or MC1 music source over
all digital extensions. The system plays this music for the length of time you specify: from one to ten minutes.
• The following conditions apply to system reminders.
- The music alarm will not play at an extension that is busy on a call (handset or speakerphone), or in the Do
Not Disturb (DND) mode.
- The system cancels any system reminder in progress when another function is invoked.
- The system uses the music source connected to the MC1 music input for the system reminder.
- Extensions monitoring background music channel MC1 will not recognize the system reminder.
IMPORTANT!
Before programming a system reminder, make sure the system time is accurate to
the current local time by downloading the switch time (especially if you are not
currently on site to check the accuracy).
