SELECTING A PERSONAL RING
The
MERLIN
system offers a choice of eight different ringing sounds for any voice
terminal. This feature is particularly useful in offices where many people sit in the
same room because it enables people to distinguish the ringing of their voice ter-
minals from others. The personalized part of the ring occurs at the end of the ringing
pattern, so it does not interfere with the distinctive ringing patterns that signal whether
a call is transferred, intercom, or from the outside.
Follow these steps to program a personal ring:
1. Set the voice terminal to program mode by following the boxed instructions on
page 30.
2. Touch
Speaker
repeatedly until you hear the ring you want. There are eight choices.
3. If you have more features to assign, you can do so. Otherwise, slide the T/P switch
to the center position to return to normal operation.
PROGRAMMING VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT DISABLE
When your system is installed, all voice terminals can receive either voice an-
nouncements or ringing to signal intercom calls. However, some people may not want
their intercom calls signaled by a voice announcement. There may also be some
voice terminals, such as those in public locations, for which voice announcements
are impractical. The Voice Announcement Disable feature makes it easy to suppress
voice signals for intercom calls. Voice terminals may be programmed to block inter-
com voice messages and automatically ring to signal intercom calls. When this is
done, the caller hears ringing instead of the beep that sounds to prompt an
announcement.
Follow these steps to program the Voice Announcement Disable feature:
1. Set the voice terminal to program mode by following the boxed instructions on
page 30.
2. Touch the
Intercom-Voice
button until the green light next to it shows the ap-
propriate code. Each successive touch activates one of these codes:
STEADY GREEN ON
= Voice signals permitted
GREEN OFF =
Voice signals blocked
3. If you have more options to program on this voice terminal, you can do so. Other-
wise, slide the T/P switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
