Pressing the Call key of the Doorphone may call one or more telephones and/or send a distinctive chime to all telephones programmed into a page zone. Placing an extension call from any telephone on the system to the Doorphone sets up a two-way voice path. Additionally, optional products can be installed to permit the activation of electric locks on doors or gates. For more information, contact your Advice Line.
