This is to ensure proper wake-up call delivery. |

Select Yes to enable the automatic cancellation of all features on check-out, including wake-up, language, DND and VIP status. The features are reset as follows:

Yes |
|
Default Checked Out Name |
When a guest room in a hospitality cluster is checked out, all entries in the Telephone Directory form that are associated with the Guest Room are replaced with one entry containing the name entered in this field. The name can be up to 21 alphanumeric characters long, including comma delimiting "last, first" names. The replacement removes all unnecessary telephone directory entries throughout the cluster while maintaining the RDN entry, which allows the guest room to remain dialable. |
