 When installing the aerial antenna cable please ensure that the cable leaves the back box by
the shortest possible route and is not coiled up and left inside the intercom.
 Do not stick the aerial onto any metal surface. This will degrade the signal strength
received
 Only use the 12 volts DC power supply that is supplied with the kit.
 Please remove voicemail function from the simcard before installing into the
intercom. Major UK network voicemail removal codes are shown on page 4.
 Before commissioning, please ensure the signal strength is sufficient by holding down
the P1 button for 4 seconds. You should receive a green LED to indicate a good signal.
 If you do not receive a good signal, please reposition the aerial antenna to impro ve
the signal strength. Alternatively, change the network provider as signal
strength can vary between the suppliers.
Voicemail Settings
Our intercom will skip to the next number if it hits an active voicemail. For example, when the
phone is switched off and it goes straight to voicemail. However if the phone rings and then
your voicemail answers the intercom will treat the voicemail as a received call and will not
skip to the next user. To fix this problem we recommend using the following codes to make
sure your voicemail does not answer before the intercom has skipped to the next number.
Example you have P1 set to ON which means it skips to the next number at 13 seconds. You
will program your phone for voicemail to answer at 15 seconds.
EE - **61*07953222222**XX#
O2 - **61*901*11*XX#
T-Mobile **61yourownmobilenumberwithnospaces**XX#
Tesco- **61*905*11*XX#
Orange - **61*07953100123**X
Giff Gaff - **61*443*10XX#
In all our examples, the Xxs stand for the number of seconds you’d like the phone to ring for
before voicemail kicks in. So replace the Xxs with 30 to enable your phone to ring for half a
minute before the call diverts. Most providers allow you to increase the time in 5 second
intervals. There are limits as to how long you can make the ring last for. Most providers set a
cap at 30 seconds.
