DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS
• The PWR or Power Button activates the unit for use. The unit must be
on to SWIPE IN or OUT and to communicate with the IMPERIUM Ac-
countability System Base Station.
• The RANGE Light glows GREEN to indicate when the QUEUE Interface is
communicating with the Accountability System Base Station. The RANGE
Light will show YELLOW if the Unit is out of range and not connected
to an active Base Station. After two (2) minutes, the light will go out.
• The opening DISPLAY shows the current time and the Total Number of
individuals who have logged into the QUEUE Interface.
• The DOWN ARROW scrolls the Display through the list of logged-in indi-
viduals. When it reaches the end of the list, the scroll will begin again at
the top of the list. If no action is taken after five (5) seconds, the Display
returns to the opening screen.
• The DEL or Delete Button is used to remove an individual from the list
(Manually Log Out).
• The DROP Button is used to remove the entire QUEUE Interface group
from the Base Station (as if the vehicle was leaving the scene). Press
and hold the DROP button (2 to 3 seconds).
• The S/O or Swipe Out Button. See below.
• The ACK or Acknowledge Button is used to respond to an EVAC message
sent to the QUEUE Interface. The display will show EVAC and produce
a loud Warning Sound. The individual designated to monitor the loca-
tion of resources logged into that QUEUE Interface must verify that all
resources have received the message to EVACUATE before pressing
the ACK button to send an Acknowledge message to the Accountability
System Base Station and silence the Warning Sound.
• The SWIPE AREA is used to either log in or log out to the QUEUE
Interface.
• If the QUEUE Interface is removed on the current Accountability System
Base Station, the RANGE light will show YELLOW as the QUEUE Inter-
face searches for another Base Station to communicate with. If no other
Base Station if found and the QUEUE Interface will reconnect with the
current Base Station and reappear as an available resource.
