Chapter 2
Using the APM
When the APM system is switched on (turns automatically on when the power is connected), the
paging console is automatically switched to its "User Mode". In this mode, the function buttons
have their standard functionality: Zone buttons (4-8-16 zones), one "Select All" button, one
"Clear All" button, and one "Push to Talk" button. (except APM101, which has only "Push to
Talk")
When selecting a zone, the particular button for that zone will illuminate Orange. When pressing
this button again, the Orange LED will stop illuminating. You can select all zones in one time by
pressing the "Select All" button, and can be deselected by pressing "Clear All".
To make announcements, the "Push to Talk" button should be pressed and kept pressed down
while talking. This can only be done when the audio bus is not occupied (= not in use by another
paging station, which means the Yellow LED is not illuminated).
