Patio to Room and Patio to Patio Communications
A person at the patio station can make a call to the room stations, or 
another patio station. For security and privacy, the patio station will 
not trigger hands-free reply from room or other patio stations.

Talk Button
To communicate with people inside, 
press and hold the patio station’s 
TALK

 button while speaking. Release 

the TALK button and wait for a reply 
from the inside stations. Press and 
hold the TALK button again at any 
time to repeat the call if it was 
unanswered.

To ensure privacy, releasing the 
patio station’s TALK button WILL 
NOT cause automatic listening to 
the room stations for 25 seconds. 
The person at a room station (or 
another patio station) must always 
press  TALK to respond to a patio 
station. When the room station’s 
TALK

 button is released, the room 

station will listen to the patio station 
and all other stations for 25 seconds 
(except stations in Privacy Mute or 
Do-not-disturb Mode). Each time 
the room station’s TALK button is 
released, the listening time will be 
extended another 25 seconds.

at any time before the 25 second 
listening period expires, press the
