SINGLE AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Elevator Automatic operation by means of the button in the car for each landing level served and one button at each landing so arranged that if any car or landing button has been actuated, the actuation of any other car or landing operating button will have no effect on the movement of the car until the response to the first button has been completed.
Don’t panic. Take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that there’s plenty of oxygen in the elevator. Then do whatever makes you feel comfortable - hum your favorite tunes, do stretching exercises, read any book or magazine you may have with you.
· Contact the outside world. Every elevator should have an alarm button and an intercom or phone. In large buildings, an onsite custodian should respond to your call within five minutes.
· Sit down. Some people have fallen when the elevator suddenly restarted.
· Don’t worry about being in the dark. Lighting runs on a separate circuit. Even if it does go out, there is a backup system that would kick in for up to four hours.
· Stay put. Never attempt to open the doors or crawl out of the opening on the roof of the car. The elevator could start moving again with fatal results. Wait until a qualified mechanic or rescue personnel comes to your aid
