You can have different ring times for each day of the week.
You can save the ring times for: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday.
You can have only one ring time set and use it for every day of the week,
so the bell ring times are the same for every day.
You can have the bell/siren ring up to 30 times in one day. Start of day,
assembly, classes and breaks, end of day. The 30 times available are
useful when ringing the siren 2 minutes before break time as a reminder.
You can change the time for how long the bell/siren rings in number of
seconds.
A spring toggle switch is provided so you can ring the bell/siren in an
emergency. This switch controls relay 1 only.
It can switch a siren or bell by selecting relay 1 or relay 2, it can also ring
relay 1 and relay 2 both at same time. This feature can be used when
foundation phase needs a bell to be rung at different times to the main
school siren.
A “Holiday toggle switch” disables the system, when the switch is
returned to “Auto” the system returns to the automatic mode

they cannot be sent to another cell phone.
5. There is no restriction to the number of phones used, except that a
ring time file must be created on that particular phone.
