INSTALLATION
You can install the stations almost anywhere
there is a standard AC outlet. Simply plug
each station into an outlet and place it directly
on a desk, shelf, table or on a wall.
Important: Stations can transmit up to 90
metres (300 feet) and between buildings as
long as they are connected to the same power
line transformer.
Note: Make sure you install the stations at
least 3 metres (10 feet) away from each other.
Placing the stations too close together
produces feedback and creates a squealing
sound.
Mounting
To mount a station on the wall, you need two
screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into
the keyhole slots on the bottom of the
stations.
1. Select a location for the station. Mark the
mounting screw locations on the wall
70mm (23/4inches) apart, one above the
other.
2. Drill holes at the marked locations.
3. Thread a screw into each hole allowing
the screw heads to extend about 3.5mm
(1/8inch) from the wall.
4. Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of
the station with the screw heads in the
wall. Slide the station down onto the
screws to secure it.
OPERATION
Setting the Channel
Each station has three channels, so you can
select which station or stations you want to
communicate with. You can also use a station
to monitor sounds near another station.
For example, you could set a station installed
in the kitchen to Channel A, a station installed
in the family room to Channel B, and a station
installed in a bedroom to Channel C. Write the
names on the Station Directory.
A B C
Kitchen Family room Bedroom
Using the station installed in the kitchen, you
can communicate with the station in the family
room by setting the channel selector to B, or
with the station in the bedroom by setting the
channel selector to C. Or, if you set all
stations to Channel A, you can communicate
with the other two stations from any station.
Set the channel selector on each station as
follows:
• If you want all the stations to
communicate with each other at the same
time, set all stations to the same channel.
• If you want to use a station to
communicate with only one of the other
stations, set only those stations to the
same channel.
Turning a Station On and Off/
Adjusting the Volume
Rotate VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.
POWER indicator lights. Then adjust VOLUME
to a comfortable listening level. To turn off the
station, rotate VOLUME counterclockwise until
it clicks. POWER indicator turns off.
Calling Another Station
1. Be sure the stations you plan to use are
turned on and adjusted to the desired
volume.
2. Set the channel selector to the channel
(A, B or C) for the station(s) you are
calling.
3. Press CALL. Each station that is on and
set to the selected channel sounds a
tone.
4. Hold down TALK and speak in a normal
voice. When you finish speaking,
release TALK and listen for the
response.

Notes:
• Only one party can talk on a channel at
a time.
• The TALK indicator on the station you
are using remains lit as long as you
hold down TALK or CALL, or when you
press LOCK.
• If your voice sounds distorted, you
might be speaking too loudly or too
close to the microphone.
• Set the channel selector back to your
designated channel after you finish
talking, so others can easily reach you.
Monitoring
You can set any station so it continuously
transmits sounds from the area where it is
located to another station. For example, you
could set the station in a baby’s bedroom,
then use the station in the kitchen to monitor
the sounds.
Note: You can monitor only one station at a
time.
1. Press LOCK on the station in the area you
want to monitor. The TALK indicator
lights.
Note: The TALK indicator stays lit until
you press CALL or TALK. This lets you
know that the station is transmitting.
2. Set the channel selectors on both
stations to the same channel.
3. When you finish monitoring, release the
lock by pressing TALK or CALL on the
station in the area you are monitoring.
The TALK indicator turns off.
Note: After pressing LOCK on a station,
you cannot call or talk to that station until
you press TALK or CALL to release the
lock.
Using Additional Stations
You can add additional stations to your
intercom system as long as they transmit on
the same frequency. Any intercom that
transmits on the same frequencies is
compatible. The intercom’s channels and
transmitting frequencies are shown below:
A ....................................... 200 kHz ±2.5 kHz
B ....................................... 270 kHz ±2.5 kHz
C ....................................... 230 kHz ±2.5 kHz
Stations in the same box have the same
frequency.
Be sure the frequency of the stations you plan
to add matches the frequency of your current
stations. If you want to set up a separate
intercom system, however, be sure it operates
on a different frequency.
