ABSENCE OF CALL. MONITOR ON STAND-BY

When receiving a call from the entrance panel, the monitor will emit an audible warning. The screen will light up, showing you the image of the person who made the call. You will have a specific time to answer. This time will depend on the type of entrance panel from which you received the call.
