Background music can also be controlled via the paging station which is designed to be very easy to use, with simple on-screen messages and menus that appear when a function is selected. The paging station user has clear indications on the screen to show which zone/areas are in use by other operators/paging stations and what messages are being utilised.
A useful feature of the system is that it can provide a fault diagnostics 'page', displaying faults such as loudspeaker line, amplifier, power supply, battery monitors and chargers, microphones and ambient noise sensors. The diagnostics page has the ability to prioritise faults and can provide site specific information such as contact numbers and service intervals. The continuous fault log history can be stored for an indefinite period and recalled using the history function.
Each system is bespoke and is individually designed to suit the requirements of the customer. The graphics on the screen can be displayed as either virtual buttons or as a topographical layout of the site. Other options include the type of microphone that can be supplied with the paging station such as a desk console or headset.
