1 Introduction
This documentation are made for Picomeds PicoPhone loudspeaking IR-controlled analog
telephone, which is a part of Picomeds environmental system. It does not have any telephone
receiver, only loudspeaking function. An external loudspeaker and/or microphone can be
connected. It is controlled by a remote controller which transmits infrared (IR) signals. One
can use Picomeds IR-remote controllers, or it is possible to let the device be controlled by a
foreign IR-remote controller. There is a built-in IR-receiver, and in addition it is possible to
connect two external IR-sensors. PicoPhone is designed for indoor use. Picomeds
loudspeaking phones can be delivered in different variants. These are:
Picolo – doorphone with one or two outdoor devices.
PicoPhone – analog telephone.
PicoCombi – dual purpose doorphone and analog telephone.
It is possible to record speech into it, and the recorded speech are divided into two types:
Auditive feedback which is ment to be used as guidance for the user about which
functions are choosen. For example as a information about which digits pressed in a
telephone number.
Voice messages which can be played back to the one you are speaking with in the
telephone.
Switches can be connected to the loudspeaking products to control the main functions, in
addition to external speaker and microphone. A built-in automatic answering function can be
activated if required.
There is a number of programmable settings to make. I.e the number of ringing signals before
the automatic answering function triggers, which IR-format to be the active one, trainable IR
and so on.

3 User manual
PicoPhone can operate in different modes. These are:
Ordinary use.
Programming – plain. Programming made only by use of an IR-remote controller. This
mode shall be used to save telephone numbers in the telephone book.
Programming – advanced. Gives access to advanced settings only. Ment to be used by
technicians when installing the device.
Programming – IR-training. Let the device teach IR-signals from foreign IR-remote
controllers. Make it possible to control it with other IR-remote controllers.
In chapter 3.4.11 an overview of the main functions are given on one page. The page is ment
as a quick guide for the user.
3.1 Incoming call
PicoPhone gives a ringing signal to indicate an incoming call. You may hook off by the use of
the remote controller, key on device, external switch or by the help of the automatic
answering function if this is enabled. When the automatic answering function activates, there
will be given a warning-tune, and then the PicoPhone hooks off after a predefined number of
ringing signals (the number can be changed in advanced programming mode).
3.2 Outgoing call
By the help of a remote controller or external switches it is possible to make a phone call.
PicoPhone will wait for the dialling tone before the telephone number are transmitted. If the
dialling tone not is possible to detect for the device, the number will be transmitted after a
predefined time. All numbers will be transmitted as DTMF.
PicoPhone can be programmed with a fixed prefix (i.e ”0”) to be used in combination with a
telephone switch board. If a prefix is enabled, the device will wait for dialling tone after the
prefix number is transmitted. When the telephone book is used, the device will transmit the
prefix automatically.
3.3 Telephone conversation
The telephone line will be active until:
The user disconnects (”hook on”) with the remote controller, key on PicoPhone, or an
external switch.
The person you are talking to, hooks on.
If the conversation is started by the automatic answering function, it will be ended when
the predefined conversation time (programmable in advanced programming mode)
expires. In this case it will be given 4 warning tones before disconnection.

3.4.3 Volume adjustment
Volume adjustments for the telephone function on PicoPhone may be adjusted with the
remote controller in 5 steps. If the volume has been changed, the new value is stored and used
for later telephone conversations. When pressing ”F” on remote controller the volume will
increase and it will be indicated by one short ”beep” for each press. When changing from
volume 4 to 5 (maximum) it will be indicated by a long ”beep”. The next keypress on ”F” will
change the volume to 1 (minimum).
3.4.4 Auditive feedback
The following words can be recorded :
"0-9", "*", "#", "Empty", "Saved", "Error" and "Pause".
These words may be used as an auditive feedback in ordinary use, and while programming the
device. If the user dont have any need for this auditive feedback it can be disabled (in
advanced programming mode). Auditive feedback in advanced programming mode can not be
disabled.
If auditive feedback is enabled, it will be heard in the following situations:
When someone tries to transmit an unprogrammed telephone book number it will say
”empty”.
When someone transmits a telephone book number it will say the position of the number
in the telephone book.
When the keys for 0-9, *, # are pressed and the telephone line not is activated (”C”), every
digit will be said. If the keys are pressed faster than the digits are presented, the feedback
will not be stopped. It will be stopped when the keys ”E” or ”C” are pressed.
3.4.5 Voice message
Three different voice messages with a duration up to 5 seconds may be recorded. 1, 2 or all 3
may be assigned to 1 or 2 different situations in a free order. When the situation becomes real,
the message will be spoken automatically. The situtations are:
1. Answering incoming telephone conversation.
Initiated by the user or automatic answering function.
2. End telephone conversation.
Initiated by the user or timeout when using automatic answering function.
Example:
You may for instance record the following: ”Hi, this is John. I am not able to talk, but I
understand what you say” as message number 1 (this is done in advanced programming
mode). So, let message number 1 be ”copied” to situation 1 (also done in advanced
programming mode). When John answer the phone (=situation number 1 in the list above)
message number 1 will be automatically played back in the beginning of the conversation.
3.4.6 Automatic answering function
The automatic answering function can be turned on and off with an IR-remote controller or
with the ”automatic answering function key” on PicoPhone. A light indicator will illuminate
when the function is enabled. Please refer to chapter 3.1 and 3.3 for more information.
Be aware of the following: if this function is enabled, it is possible to call to the user
and listen to what happens in the room. If the device is used by a disabled person

the telephone book if it is activated once in advanced programming mode. A pause (”F”) can
be a part of a number in the telephone book. PicoPhone will wait a predefined time before the
numbertransmitting continues if ”F” is a part of the telephone number.
3.4.8 Tone generating
PicoPhone generate tones as a responce to user inputs. Generated tones will occur when:
Keypress on device (also if key has no action in actual setting) except from when DTMF
are transmitted or when recorded speech are played back.
When a timeout occur after a ”B” or ”C” sequence in ordinary use.
When entering a programming mode.
When hook on is automatically executed.
