Connect to Power

Plug each station into an outlet and place it directly on a desk, shel, table or on a wall.

Stations can transmit up to 300 feet and between buildings as long as they are connected to the same power line transformer.

Communicating

Setting the Channel

Each station has three channels, so you can select which station or stations will communicate. You can also use a station to monitor sounds near another station.

For example, you could set a station installed in the kitchen to Channel A, a station installed in the amily room to Channel B, and a station installed in a bedroom to Channel C. Using the station in the kitchen, you can communicate with the station in the amily room by setting the channel selector to B, or with the station in the bedroom by setting the channel selector to C.

Set the channel switch on each station as follows:

• I you want all the stations to communicate with each other, set all stations to the same channel.
• I you want to use a station to communicate with only one other station, set only two stations to the same channel.

Turning a Station On

Rotate VOLUME counterclockwise until it clicks. Then adjust VOLUME to a comortable listening level. To turn o, rotate VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.

Calling Another Station

2. Press CALL. Each station that is on and set to the selected channel sounds a tone.

Notes:

• Only one party can talk on a channel at a time.
• The TALK indicator on the station you are using remains lit as long as you hold down TALK or CALL, or when you press LOCK.
• If your voice sounds distorted, you might be speaking too loudly or too close to the microphone.
• Set the channel selector back to your designated channel after you finish talking, so others can easily reach you.
