: or Call to Mass, is often announced before the beginning of service by a swinging bell. The time is completely customizable but often, churches choose to start a one-minute swinging bell five minutes before service. Some churches choose to play music in addition to or instead of a swinging bell to call people to service.

: Any bell will remain in motion for a little bit after it is swung. Expect some time for the bells to decay naturally before the next event.

: Please note: If you are swinging real bells, ~~it is our professional recommendation to wait~~ two minutes ~~before the next event~~ to prevent ~~harm~~ to the ~~bells and parts~~.

: Please note: If you are swinging real bells, the system will inhibit all stationary ringing for at least two minutes to prevent damage to the ringing mechanism.
