System Description
The 3M™ Convenience Store Intercom System, Model C5000, enables store
personnel to communicate with customers calling in from Call Stations at up to
16 pumps or other remote locations.
Introduction
The system arranges incoming calls in a first-come first-served order. The
operator can also choose to talk to any customer at any Call Station at any time.
Operators using wireless headsets or belt packs can also talk to each other using
the paging feature.
During peak hours, pushing the FUEL button on the Call Station sends a call to
a fuel operator. Pushing the FOOD button sends a call to a food operator.
During non-peak hours, pushing either button sends a call to the operator on
duty (if this option is installed and selected).
Operators use Station Selectors, headsets, belt packs, or a combination of these
components to communicate with customers.
System Components
