Installation rules
Installation must be carried out in compliance with the current regulations regarding the installation of electrical equipment in
the country where the products are installed.
Regulatory compliance
EMC directive
Standards EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-3, EN 60118-4, EN 60065
WEEE - User information
The crossed bin symbol on the appliance or on its packaging indicates that the product at the end of its life must be
collected separately from other waste. The user must therefore hand the equipment at the end of its life cycle over to
the appropriate municipal centres for the differentiated collection of electrical and electronic waste. As an alternative
to independent management, you can deliver the equipment you want to dispose of to the dealer when purchasing a new ap-
pliance of an equivalent type. You can also deliver electronic products to be disposed of that are smaller than 25 cm for free,
with no obligation to purchase, to electronics retailers with a sales area of at least 400 m
2
. Proper sorted waste collection for
subsequent recycling, processing and environmentally conscious disposal of the old equipment helps to prevent any possible
negative impact on the environment and human health while promoting the practice of reusing and/or recycling materials
used in manufacture.

Whereas, if the Status is Online, all devices associated with the user are notied of the call in progress: the
screen displays images captured by the External Unit camera and the video entryphone plays the previously
selected ringtone. If the ringer is muted (Quick settings menu), the video entryphone does not play any sound.

master video entryphone.
4.1 General Information
• Primary Name (from master device only): to set the primary name associated with the user. When con-
guring the system, the installer assigns a preliminary name to the user (e.g. "Apartment 1"). The user
can change it later, by using the virtual keyboard on the screen to type and save the desired name (e.g.
"John Smith"). This is the name by which the user is identied in the system contact lists. The name is
displayed in the header area ofthe main screen on all video entryphones belonging to the user.
• Secondary Name and Additional Names (from master device only): to set the secondary name and any
additional names or information. Information about the user is displayed by the porter switchboard as

for the Primary Name, and blank for the Secondary Name and Additional Name).
• Device ID: to set the ID by which an individual video entryphone is identied from among the user’s
devices. Each video entryphone has its own ID, which is automatically assigned during system con-
guration (e.g.: PI_60001 for the master device). The user can subsequently change it to a name of
their choice (Entrance, Study, etc.). In the Home section of the Contacts List, each of the user's video
entryphones is identied by its Device ID. In the main screen, the ID appears at the bottom, next to the
status icon.
• Language: select the language to be used by the video entryphone interface. The following languages
are available: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Greek and Portuguese.
• Date and Time (from master unit only): set the date and time displayed in the Header area of the
main screen on all video entryphones belonging to the user. Enabling automatic mode (recommended)

Key button activates the External Unit lock and simultaneously cuts off the call (even during conversa-
tion).
• Video Voicemail Start Timeout (from master device only): to set the standby time in seconds before

Disturb and the service has been activated, the voicemail function will start immediately when a call is
