How to Visit Us in Providence (information for tenants) * Instructions for Using the New Intercom Requesting Access with a Visitor Call If the visitor already knows the residents Directory Code number, they can press #, and then enter the Directory Code number to call the resident. Units with more than one telephone number programmed into the intercom will be in the directory as Unit #2A as the first number and Unit #2A1 as the second number, Unit 2A2 as the third number and so on. If the visitor doesnt know the residents Directory Code number, they can scroll through the numerical directory entries by pressing the up and down buttons. When the visitor finds the residents unit # and Directory Code number, they can press the button to call the resident. The system dials the residents Telephone Number to establish 2-way communications. NOTE The residents Telephone Number will never be displayed to the visitor. The resident answers the call and converses with the visitor to determine if access should be granted. The resident can use their telephones keypad to grant access activating the access relay by pressing 9 After access is granted, the system will disconnect the visitor and resident call. The resident can disconnect the visitor without granting access by pressing or by hanging up. NOTE Disconnecting by hanging up is not recommended. The system will keep the telephone line seized until the maximum visitor talk time timer runs out. The length of time a visitor is allowed to talk is limited. At ten and five seconds before the disconnect, a tone will sound on the telephone to remind the resident of the pending disconnect. To restart the talk timer, the resident can press # on their telephone. Also, please note that the new bar on the front door has a one second delay and requires several fingers or whole hand in contact with the bar in order to open (one finger is not enough surface contact to activate the switch in the bar). The red button is still operational as well and also has a one second delay. * No wonder we're isolated!!
