Notice to realize adequate sound
Two units of this product are required for the two-way communication. One is used for the•
speaker and the other is used for the microphone.
Make sure that the order post has the secure structure which can prevent the transmitted•
vibration from the surfaces and extra chattering sounds. As necessary, do the reinforcement
work or take a vibration control measure.
When installing the units for the speaker and the microphone, keep them as distant as possi-•
ble. Otherwise, feedback noise may occur or the sound clearness may be spoiled since the
unit for the microphone may pick up the sound from the speaker.
When the sound from the speaker leaks into the interior of the order post, the microphone may•
pick up the sound. Then, feedback noise and extra chattering sounds may occur and the
sound clearness may be spoiled.
Make the opening of the order post wider than the sound apertures of the Speaker•
Microphone so that the entire sound apertures can be set in the opening. In addition, the
opening of the order post should be smaller than the external dimensions of the main unit.
