When the channel is free, the operator should press the page TRANSMIT button or the main TRANSMIT button. The paging tones can be heard through the select speaker as they are transmitted. When the paging tones are complete, "TALK NOW" flashes at the upper right of the information window if talk time has been programmed for the particular type of paging or alias. While "TALK NOW" is flashing, the microphone is active and voice audio is transmitted over the channel(s) to the paged units. To extend the talk time, press and hold the main TRANSMIT, page TRANSMIT or channel TRANSMIT button. Additionally, it is possible to initiate an alert tone during the talk time. To activate an alert while "TALK NOW" is flashing, simply press the desired alert tone button. Upon releasing the alert tone button, the console will again flash "TALK NOW" at the upper right of the information window for a minimum of two seconds. During this time, the microphone is active and voice audio is transmitted over the channel(s). To extend the talk time, press and hold the main TRANSMIT, page TRANSMIT or channel TRANSMIT button. When the talk time is over, the operator releases the appropriate transmit button or if no talk time has been programmed, the console exits paging mode, returns to normal operation, or hot standby paging, and selects the previously selected channel. As discussed earlier, the operator should exercise caution when following a page with a voice transmission to ensure that the correct channel is selected. Sequential Channel Specific Group Paging A special type of alias preprogrammed with a sequence of other aliases is called a group page. A group page is configured using CARD Suite and contains of list of alias pages that are sequentially transmitted on the auto-base station channel, as programmed in each alias. This allows for activation of multiple sirens or paging of several emergency services at once. As a group page progresses, each alias in the group is referenced, and the channel and frequency on which it has been preprogrammed to page are selected. The alias is displayed on the paging line and the paging tones are heard through the select speaker as the page is transmitted. Upon completion of all pages, "TALK NOW" flashes at the upper right of the display if a talk time has been programmed for the group. During this time, the microphone is active and voice audio is transmitted over the channel(s). To extend the talk time, press and hold the main TRANSMIT, page TRANSMIT or channel TRANSMIT button on any transmitting channel. When the talk time is over, the operator releases the appropriate transmit button or if no talk time has been programmed, the console exits paging mode, returns to normal operation, or hot standby paging, and selects the previously selected channel. As discussed earlier, the operator should exercise caution when following a page with a voice transmission to ensure that the correct channel is selected. 39 12/10 Standard Feature Operation ICP9000 Navigator Series Console Operator's Manual Stack Paging The Stack paging feature provides the operator the capability to create a sequential group page as needed.
