The Reporter™ Wirefree
Intercom features an
amazing 1000’ range, and
allows multiple simultaneous
conversations, using a 900
Hz secure digital radio link.
For privacy, your intercoms
form an exclusive network,
and respond only to other
intercoms in your
network.
(Patent Pending)
Even conversations within
your network are secure, as
intercoms automatically pair
up, blocking all other
intercoms from listening in.
Since this intercom system
requires no connection to
wall power, it is perfect for
the do-it-yourself installer.
Please read the instructions
carefully.
Note:
This unit is recommended for
indoor use only.
Setting Up the Intercom
Installation
Choose a wall location
that is free of beams
and other obstructions
inside the wall. Mount
the intercom at a
con enient height for
easy use, typically
shoulder height.
Cut a hole in the wall measuring 6 1/8” wide
by 4 1/2” high. Insert each of the four screws
through a corner of the frame and into a
plastic fastener. Screw in only about 1/4” into
each plastic fastener - do not tighten.
Place the frame in the hole. With a large
screwdri er, tighten the screws until the self-
aligning fasteners rotate and tighten to firmly
hold the frame in place.
Install four ‘C’
batteries in the
Intercom’s battery
pack (the LEDs will
illuminate). Clip this
unit into the frame by
inserting the top
section first and then
the lower half (as
shown in the picture).
This unit is now ready
to be taught to the
Reporter intercoms in
the network.
Creating an Intercom Network with
Wall Mount and/or Portable Units.
The Intercom units must be taught to each
other to form an intercom network. The Wall
Mount unit is fully compatible with other Flush
Mount Reporter Intercom units, as well as the
Reporter WireFREE Portable units.
To create a new network of intercoms, place
each Wall Mount Intercom in Learn mode by
holding down both buttons for 3 seconds. The
LEDs will flash rapidly. Within 10 seconds, put
any other Wall Mount intercom units in learn
mode by holding down the same two buttons
(or single button for the portable unit). Each
intercom will produce a tone as it joins the
network. Note: One unit may produce a
different tone. This is normal.
To add an additional intercom unit to an
existing network, put both the new
intercom and one of the networked
intercoms in learn mode by pushing both
buttons on each unit for 3 seconds. The
new unit will join the network.
Channel Selection
The default channel
for the intercom is the
Paging Channel. All four
channel lights will flash
in sequence. Press the
CHANNEL button to set
an intercom unit to one
of four secure channels
or the paging channel.
While on a channel, you
can only be heard by
other units set to the
same channel or the
paging channel.
Using the Intercom
To talk, hold down the TALK button.
E ery intercom unit in the network on
the same channel will recei e the signal.
Release the TALK button when you are
finished talking. When someone responds
to you within 10-15 seconds by holding
down the TALK button on a different
intercom unit, a secure connection is
created. Other units will not recei e the
signal.
Ad usting the speaker volume
The olume can be adjusted by holding
down the TALK button and repeatedly
pressing the CHANNEL button to cycle
through three olume le els.
Conference Mode
All Intercoms must be set on the same
channel or the paging channel to
participate in the Conference.
To place Intercoms in the Conference
Mode, slide dipswitch #3 UP on all Wall
Mount intercoms and dipswitch #2 Up on
Portable units in the network.
Oracle Gate System Compatible
If you recei e a CALL from the Oracle
Gate System, the Wall Mount intercom
buttons will illuminate. TALK will open
an audio channel; REMOTE will open the
gate. See the Oracle Gate System manual
for further information.
Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing Happens. The Intercom Does Not Function
It is normal for the lights to go out if the Wall Mount Intercom has been inactive for
five minutes. The lights should illuminate again after a button is pressed or a signal is
received. If the unit does not operate, check the batteries. Normally, the CH NNEL
lights should flash, showing the channel that the unit is set to. If the units have power
and are not working, they may need to form a network. Press the LE RN buttons on the
units that need to be introduced and they will beep in response. You may need to clear
their memory (see below), ND THEN teach them.
If the units are not on the same channel, press the CH NNEL button until both units
are on the same channel or in Paging mode, with all channel lights illuminated.
The Intercom is Not Getting the Expected Transmission Range
Trees, metal, electrical wiring or other electrical devices directly between units can
limit the range, as can having it mounted within is few inches of electrical wiring.
There is a Double Beep every Ten Minutes
The intercom is indicating that the batteries are low and need to be replaced.
How do I Clear the Intercom’s Memory to Remove it from a Network
Press and hold both buttons for 20 seconds. tone will indicate that the unit has
cleared its memory and you can re-teach it to a new intercom. If an intercom signals,
while the buttons are depressed, the procedure will have to be repeated.
I hear Static and Feedback through the Intercom
The intercom is probably too close to another intercom. Once the intercom is installed
in the desired location, it will operate normally. If a cordless phone, cell phone, or other
radio device is too close to the intercom, it can generate static or limit the range.
