1Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Public Address option for your Code Blue application. Public
Address is a centralized amplifier-based system designed to provide voice paging and
broadcast alarm tones during emergencies. The system can transmit alarm tones and voice
messages in a reliable and safe manner from a central location to all or selected areas of the
facility via loudspeakers. The entire operational area can be divided into one or more zones,
which can be accessed independently either for announcements or alarm broadcasting.
Loudspeakers are installed in these zones. There are no limitations to the number of zones in a
system or number of loudspeakers in each zone. The system is designed to offer clear
reproduction of sound and intelligibility, even in high noise areas.
