Overview
The Intercom has up to a 1000' range and allows 
multiple simultaneous conversations, using a 
900 Mhz secure digital radio link. The intercoms form 
an exclusive network and respond only to other 
intercoms in the network.

Operation & Features
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.
Volume: Pressing the Volume button 
repeatedly will cycle through volume 
levels.
Battery: The AA Alkaline batteries 
(not provided) will last up to a year 
depending on use (Lithium batteries 
recommended for colder 
environments). When batteries are low 
intercom will emit two beeps every ten 
minutes.
An AC Adapter (not provided) can also 
be used to power the intercom. In this case, both the 
power and channel lights will remain on.
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 sound in a specific 
room. Place the intercom in the room 
that is to be monitored and press and 
hold the Talk and Volume buttons until 
a tone is heard. 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. When in Monitor Mode, 
the intercom will stay active for 15 minutes then will 
shut off to conserve battery power. The Channel 
light will begin to flash while in Standby Mode 
and the intercom will reactivate for an additional 
15 minutes when a sound is heard from the room 
being monitored.
Voice Activation Mode (VOX): Voice Activation 
Mode (VOX) allows a call to be answered without 
pressing the Talk button. Once a call is heard on an 
intercom which has been set to VOX, a response can 
be given by speaking loudly into the intercom. There 
will be a slight delay when VOX is first activated by a 
voice, but will continue to transmit audio until 
the speaking stops. To put intercom into VOX, 
place Dipswitch #1 to the UP position.
