In fact, even if the display shows "floor 14", it's floor 13 for real; that's why the voice box said "floor 13". Some places omits the 13th floor because of triskaidekaphobia (fear of number 13) like in East Asia they avoid floor 4th (and floors ending in "4") because of tetraphobia (fear of number 4) because there "4" sounds like "death". Also, in Italy they can avoid the 17 because in roman numerals is XVII, an anagram of "VIXI" (I lived)...
Ah. Much better than the one in Hong Kong. It has no handicap mode for Ground Floor, generic chimes, Dewhurst buttons and just KSS 670 indicator mounted in a KDS 330 indicator.

Wtf. I never knew Irvine had a Polaris! This convinced me to travel Irvine!
This is the first time I heard Polaris telling what the doors are doin
There's a few other videos showing it.
The first of it's kind
The NATO alphabet from the touchscreen/keypad was cool as well!
Is it a State of CA thing? Because that's where I've mostly heard it.
Maybe. I've only seen NATO alphabet being used in California. Compass and Polaris in fact.
Amazing lifts.
Thanks! It’s been a while, man. I’ll try to join your Trivia night again!
Super dope!

Oof. I guess HK doesn't specialize in KONE as much as USA. But I prefer the scrolling arrow than the solid one! So that's a plus for HK installations.
bruce mclaren asked to watch this video. that elevator voice is a bit stiff.
He asked me too.
Ah sorry if that bothered you all. Matt hasn’t uploaded in a while.
