ICS-22’s close-in VOX dips the speaker or gooseneck microphone automatically as the panel is used. These features help minimize acoustical feedback. The ICS-22 will need to be powered locally. In permanent wall installations, a 16- VAC doorbell transformer will provide a convenient source of power. In DT-Box installations, a 14- to 18-VAC wall-mounted transformer will suffice.
There must be a corresponding listen key on the top row to the talk key on the bottom row of the ICS-1008 configuration for the ICS-22 panel to work correctly. If a talk key only is configured on the ICS-1008 in EHX the Talk key on the ICS-22 will not latch.
