OPERATION OF MASTER STATION
Plug in the power supply and turn the volume to maximum (rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go).
Press the Talk-Listen Control and talk. Release the Talk-Listen Control and listen. Adjust the Volume
Control until desired volume is obtained. If the system does not operate when DC current is used,
reverse the plug in the outlet to correct polarity. When AC current is used, reversing the plug in the outlet
may reduce hum. The system will operate with minimal hum under normal conditions.
OPERATION OF SUB-STATIONS
When System Is “Non-Private”: Sub-Station can answer the Master Station without any operation on
the part of the person at the Sub-Station.
When System Is “Private”: Sub-Station can talk to the Master Station only when depressing the Talk-
Listen Control on the Sub-Station (use K-S-100W Origination-of-call Switch with K-HP-3 and K-C-20).
Therefore, the Master Station cannot listen in.
Close proximity of the Sub-Station to the Master Station may result in a howl (acoustical feedback) when
either one calls the other. Reduce the volume on the Master Station or keep them partitioned from each
other.
PRIVACY CRADLE PHONE OPTION: When Cradle Phone is at rest, the station operates the same as
without a Cradle Phone. Removing Cradle Phone from its rest automatically disconnects the loud
speaker and directs incoming and outgoing voice only through Cradle Phone. ON MASTERS, push talk-
listen control to “talk” and release to “listen” with the Cradle Phone in use. ON SUB-STATIONS, note the
additional push button control located in the center of the Cradle Phone. When the Sub-Station is “non-
private”, depress push button control to “talk”, release to “listen” during conversation. When Sub-Station
is “private” or when Sub-Station originates a call to the Master, operate both the push button control on
the Cradle Phone and the Talk-Listen Control on the Sub-Station, pressing to “talk”, releasing to “listen”.
A few minutes of practice will enable you to become familiar with the system. It should provide years of
satisfactory performance. Should you have any questions concerning the operation and performance of
this system (even those questions which might be peculiar to local electrical and environmental
conditions) we would welcome your inquires; as we may have special information and suggestions for
you.
TO REMOVE CHASSIS: Remove two knobs on front of Master Station (one knob on front of Sub-Station)
and four screws on the bottom of unit, adjacent to end panels (2 per side). On Models with Cradle
Phone, also remove the cradle rest assembly. Lift out chassis.
