6.15.2 General
The NIRD is an Ascom messaging device using Interactive Messaging (IM), in the same way as the
Ascom phones.
The NIRD includes three teleCARE function buttons (red, yellow and green). Each of these buttons has
an LED which illuminates to indicate the activated condition. Three function keys and a scroll button
are included for controlling the display and speech.
The LCD screen measures 2 1/2 x 1 3/8 in. (63mm x 35mm). It displays large, easy to read characters
showing calls and the locations of attendants. Above the LCD screen is a three-color LED which
illuminates to emphasis the type or category of calls received.
The NIRD LCD display has two states:
• Active = bright (back-lit) when attendant presence is on
• Idle = dim when attendant presence is off
