The fail-safe transmission is ensured by planned messages generated by remote control at preselected times, frequencies and output power. 


AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The operator can choose to schedule messages within selected time-slots or transmit urgent information immediately. All messages are automatically transmitted and logged. The interface is operated by either touch screen or keyboard. 

COMPLETE OVERVIEW
The Danphone Interface supports easy editing and quick action in urgent circumstances by listing messages according to time and date. Messages are seperated by: overview of all transmissions, active messages, sent messages and draft messages.
