8.3. Emergency Broadcast Operation (Typical Example)
Step 1. Alert Broadcast
Open the RM-200 Remote Microphone's Emergency broadcast
switch cover, and press the switch.
A pre-recorded Alert signal tone and Alert announcement will be
alternately broadcast to the entire zone for the preset number of
repetitions.*
1
The EMERGENCY indicators of the RM-200M and the
VM amplifier come on.
Alert (or Evacuation) broadcasts terminate all current general-
purpose broadcasts.
(The Alert broadcast is also enabled when the Emergency Alert
input*
2
is activated by the fire alarm system or other connected
external equipment.)
[Alert announcement example*
3
]
[Alert signal] Attention please. The fire alarm is indicating a fire.
We're now investigating the cause. Please wait for further
information.
Step 2. Evacuation Broadcast
After the Alert broadcast has been repeated as pre-programmed, it
automatically switches to the Evacuation broadcast, with an
Evacuation signal tone and a pre-recorded Evacuation
announcement alternately broadcast to the entire zone.*
1
(The Evacuation broadcast is also enabled when the Emergency
Evacuation input*
2
is activated by the fire alarm system or other
connected external equipment.)
[Evacuation announcement example*
4
]
[Evacuation signal] There is a fire. Please evacuate as quick as
possible.
Step 3. Live Microphone Announcement
(This announcement can be made during either Step 1 or Step 2.)
3-1. Holding down the Remote Microphone Talk key interrupts the current Emergency broadcast (Alert or
Evacuation broadcast), permitting broadcast of live microphone announcements to the entire zone.
3-2. The microphone announcement is terminated when the Talk key is released, and operation reverts to
the Evacuation broadcast regardless of whether the microphone announcement was made during an
Alert or Evacuation broadcast.*

Note: In the Emergency Broadcast, the Talk key operates in the "press-to-talk" method regardless of
its operation setting (by the RM-200M's function setting switch No. 4).
