Introduction

Welcome to ComPoint

Thank you for choosing a Russound
ComPoint system for your home or busi-
ness. While you may already be familiar
with paging and intercom systems, each
system works differently. We've designed
ComPoint for ease of operation and with
a unique set of capabilities to meet your
communication needs. You'll be pleased
with the way the system simplifies your life,
and we're confident you'll enjoy using
ComPoint every day.
ComPoint integrates the following features:
System-wide paging
Perhaps you want to call the family to din-
ner, move your party guests to the living
room, or summon everyone in the office to
an important meeting. ComPoint's paging
feature allows you to do all this with ease.
You can let everybody know about an
important event like a birthday or anniver-
sary, or you can broadcast a message for
someone to pick up the phone or come see
you. Whatever announcement you want to
make throughout your home or business,
paging allows you to get the word out.
What's more, if you're paging an individ-
ual, that person can reply to your page
from the nearest keypad.
Point-to-point intercom
One of ComPoint's most useful functions is
the intercom feature. You need to talk with
4
™ someone in another room out of earshot,
and you can't leave the room you're in. The
solution? The intercom feature lets you con-
tact the person directly, saving you steps
and time.
Whenever you want to reach a particular
person without disturbing the whole house
or office, the intercom feature connects you
to the room the person is in. You can think
of an intercom session as a private conver-
sation while paging is a public announce-
ment. Also, intercom enables two-way
conversations, whereas paging is intended
for one-way communication.
Door station call and reply
With ComPoint at your service, you don't
have to run to the door every time the
doorbell rings. If you can't get to the door
right away, the door station call function
gives you the convenience of answering the
door from any room.
At any keypad you can have a two-way
conversation with the caller to find out who
it is and the purpose of their visit—before
you even approach the door.
Doorbell chimes
With ComPoint, you can have separate
doorbell chimes for two doors. You have a
choice of seven different chime tones that
your installer can assign. Or you can use a
separate doorbell system if you prefer.
