ADD TO AN EXISTING NETWORK

Press the Learn button on the
new intercom until a beep is
heard.

Each intercom will emit a tone when entering programming
mode. It may take up to 3-1/2 minutes for a secure network to
be established. Repeat for any additional intercoms.
NOTE: Do not program new intercoms to each other before
adding them to the network or they will form a separate
network and the memory will need to be cleared.

Press and release the Talk
button to verify network is
complete.

Operation

Talk Button: To talk, hold down
the Talk button. All intercoms in
the network that are on the same
channel will receive the signal.
Release the Talk button when done
talking and within 10-15 seconds
press and hold the Talk button of a different intercom to make a
secure channel between the two. Once the channel is made the
other intercoms in the network cannot hear the conversation.

Channel Button: Press the Channel
button to set intercom to one of
four secure channels or the paging
channel. The default channel for
the intercom is the paging channel
where all four channel lights are
lit. An intercom on a channel can
only hear an intercom on the same
channel or on the paging channel.

Conference Mode: Conference
Mode allows multiple intercoms
to participate in a conversation
compared to Normal Mode in
which only two intercoms can
communicate. All intercoms must be set to the same channel or
the paging channel to be in Conference Mode. To put intercom in
Conference Mode set Dipswitch #2 to UP position.

Monitor Mode: Monitor Mode is used
to monitor the noise in a specific
room. Place the intercom in the
room that is to be monitored and
press the Monitor button until a tone
is heard. For extended Monitor usage, consider using a plug-in
transformer. Any other networked intercom can listen to that
room. If a specific channel is selected for Monitor Mode then
only other intercoms on that channel or on the paging channel
can listen. Press the Talk button to exit Monitor Mode. A tone
will be heard indicating Monitor Mode is no longer active.
Monitor mode functions only between base unit intercoms,
not with the doorbell unit.
