General Operation
Intercom Features
Each room and patio station can be used for communication with other 
room, patio, or door stations. Also, room and patio stations feature four 
special constant modes for room monitoring and privacy.
If the optional audio input wall plate is installed, room and patio stations 
can be set to play to the audio source connected to the wall plate.
Volume Control
Volume at each station can be set 
with its VOL button. Each momentary 
VOL
↑ press increases, or VOL↓ press 
decreases, the station’s volume. 
Pressing and holding the VOL↓ 
button for one second will silence 
the station’s speaker. When the 
station’s volume is set all the way 
down, the VOL button will remain 
dimly lit. Pressing and holding the 
VOL
↑ button for one second returns 
the volume to its previous level.
Hands-free Reply
Room stations will automatically 
listen to all other room and patio 
stations for 25 seconds after the 
room station’s TALK button is 
released (except for stations in 
privacy mute or Do-not-disturb 
Mode). This allows for a “hands-
free” reply from the person being 
called. This also applies when 
communicating with door stations 
using the room or patio station’s 
DOOR
 button.
