NOTES: 1. On the residential/tenant station, the emergency alarm and

of the volume setting.
2. The emergency alarm function can be activated even when the
system is in use. (Alarms can be activated at the same time by
up to 5 units.)
3. Residential/tenant stations within the same residence will be
unable to receive normal calls or doorbell calls while the
emergency alarm is sounding. It is only possible to respond to
calls from the guard station.
4. During the emergency alarm, the entrance station cannot
make calls to the residential/tenant station or to the guard
station that are producing emergency alarms.
• If there is a system malfunction, contact a qualified technician for
service.
