VI. Unity User’s Guide
This section describes the basic usage techniques to successfully navigate and enjoy a Unity System
along with specific walkthroughs of the individual Unity functions.
A.Basic Navigation:
Above is a description of the various buttons on the front of the Unity LCD Console. Each softkey
corresponds to the tab shown directly above it in the display. Similarly, the compass keys correspond to
the associated arrow indicators shown in the display. For instance, in this particular screen, the left and
right compass keys would move the Icon Wheel to the left or right accordingly.
To navigate throughout the Unity System, from the main screen shown above, use the Left and Right
compass keys to spin the icon wheel, and then use the Talk/Select button to choose the desired function.
Alternatively, use the softkeys to choose the shortcut to the desired function. The Home softkey will
always bring the Unity system back to this main screen. Pressing the Home key a second time will center
the Icon Wheel on the Intercom icon. The power button will put the current display into standby mode.
The display will be automatically activate if it is ever the target of an intercom call (including an ALL call
and/or Door Event). To prevent this, place the unit in standby then press the mute button.

Basics
As indicated on the display, the Up and Down compass keys will move the highlight box. To
call an intercom unit, highlight that unit, then press and hold the Talk/Select button. The Unity
Intercom is a ‘press and hold’ intercom. This means to make an intercom call, the Talk/Select
button must be HELD when talking TO the highlighted unit. When the Talk/Select button is
released, the highlighted unit will have a number of seconds (15 seconds by default, but
adjustable in Settings -> Intercom) to respond in what is called ‘talk hands free’ mode. During
this mode, the unit being CALLED may respond to the CALLER without any specific intercom
interaction. After talk hands free mode times out, the intercom will return to the state it was in
upon entering the intercom screen. An audible tone will sound to indicate the transition
between the states mentioned above. A typical intercom conversation will go as follows:
•User presses (and holds) Talk/Select
•A tone sounds to indicate it is OK to start talking
•User talks TO selected unit
•User releases Talk/Select
•A tone sounds to indicate transition to ‘talk hands free’ mode
•Selected unit has some number of seconds (15 seconds default) to talk BACK to
caller
•A tone sounds to indicate end of conversation
Monitor
Pressing softkey 3 will place the unit into monitor mode. When a unit is in monitor all other
units on the system will be able to hear it.
Send Message
Pressing softkey 4 from the intercom menu will open the messaging menu.

information on sending messages, please refer to the Using Messages section of the Unity
Users Guide.

2.Using the Player
To enter the Player function, use the Left and Right compass keys until the Icon Wheel is over the Player
Icon, and then press Talk/Select. The player menu should be displayed. The following sections describe
the individual player sub menus. In general, the Up and Down compass keys are used to navigate the
current menu, and Talk/Select is used to select the current menu item (either bringing up another sub
menu, or redirecting to Now Playing).

At any time (i.e. in any Player sub menu),
softkey 3 will open up an alphabetic search
window. The cursor keys and talk/select button
operate the mini keypad. The search is
incremental, meaning that any letter that is
input will further narrow the search. To close
the box, press softkey 3 again. The alphabetic
search box will ONLY search in the current sub
menu. For example, if the current sub menu is
Songs, the alphabetic search box will narrow
down the Songs list based on the characters
input. If the current sub menu is Artists, only
the Artist list will be narrowed down. It will still
be necessary to select an artist to view Albums
and Songs by that Artist.
