About This Manual - Russound COMPOINT SYSTEM Instruction Manual

Door strike release
Did someone in the family forget their keys?
Did a friend drop by? ComPoint offers an
optional module that works with a door
strike release to let you admit your visitor
from any keypad without going to the door
in person. Imagine the convenience of not
having to leave the baby or interrupt an
important task to go and open the door for
your visitor.
Listen to another room
Need to keep an ear open for someone?
Wondering what the kids are doing? With
ComPoint you're within earshot of any
other room. Listen mode keeps you in touch
with what's going on in any room with a
keypad.
Do not disturb
When you've tucked your kids into bed or
you need peace and quiet in the study to
concentrate, you can switch the room key-
pad to Do Not Disturb. This prevents all
communication events from being heard in
that room.
Hands free
One of the nicest features in ComPoint is
the ability to reply to intercom calls without
having to touch the keypad. And when the
delivery person rings your doorbell, they
can answer your reply without having to
press the Call key again.
Integration with your music system
For even greater convenience, your
ComPoint system can share the speakers in
your multiroom audio system. When active,
ComPoint switches the speakers over to the
keypad amplifiers in the affected rooms,
momentarily interrupting the audio pro-
gram. When the activity ends, the speakers
resume playing your audio program.
As an alternative, ComPoint can stand
alone by using the optional ISSP ComPoint
Speakers next to the keypads.
