Speaker Phone Feature
If this feature has been programmed the LYNX Touch is capable of operating as a speaker
phone. During speaker phone operation the system will provide the following functions:
• All function/event processing will continue to operate, but there will be no
announcements.
NOTE: The system will enter the Speaker Phone mode even if an alarm or trouble is stored in the system

cases the speaker phone is not functional.
The system will not enter speaker phone mode and LYNX Touch will not ring if:
• The feature has not been programmed.
• A report is being sent.
• An audible alarm is present.
• An announcement is being made or a recorded message is being played back.
• A message is being recorded.
• If the system is in test or sniffer mode.

The speaker phone will be aborted if:
• A report must be sent.
• An audible alarm or trouble has ocurred.

Using the Speaker Phone Feature
When the LYNX Touch is operating in the Speaker Phone mode, if a zone is violated and has
triggered an entry/exit delay, the system will automatically change the touchscreen from
telephone to security mode. This allows the user to disarm the system or take other
appropriate actions in the security mode without interrupting the telephone session. To
regain telephone keypad control you will need to reactivate the telephone keypad.
