In a Hospital there is often not enough to page a person where only the initiator number is shown in the receiver display. A significant difference in tone characteristics, priority and text it is often a demand. This applies especially to alarms and calls for key, critical personnel teams like doctors, x-ray, anesthesia and nurses during heart failures and other complications. But it is also useful for call requests from doors, elevators and technical alarms to other key personnel.
Search types
The search types can be divided in to three categories:
- Normal: Activated by dialing the station or dummy number plus digit 1. The A-subscriber directory number is shown in the Pocket Pager receiver display. The recipient dials the shown number from the closest STENTOFON to get in contact with the sender.
- Alarm: Activated by dialing the station or dummy number plus the last DAK key (DAK10). The A-subscriber name is shown in the Pocket Pager receiver display, and there is a different tone characteristic and priority than the normal search type. Often used to reach medical emergency teams that must physically reach the sender as soon as possible, thus making the name rather than the number more important. Can also be used to send other texts then own station name from master stations; for example “HELI 20 MINS” to give medial emergency teams information about an incoming helicopter. In this case it is actually the B-subscriber station name that is transmitted.
- Technical alarm: Activated from RCI or DAK without additional digits. Could be given a dedicated characteristic which differs from normal and alarm search types. Could also be used for door station calls or other types of substation calls.
