Intercom - Russound Collage Installation Manual

Intercom settings
The system has several intercom setting choices that should be made
before using. These are accessed from the Intercom Options menu.
Auto answer or hands free - this allows a hands-free answer when a
page is received. The volume adjustment changes the sound level for
receiving a page.
Background - A selection here adjusts the sensitivity of the microphone
in relation to room noise.
This setting is important, because if the background is set to Quiet but
the noise level is loud, the microphone will engage and never disengage.
This forces the keypad to be locked into Talk mode which means no other
party can answer back.
Choose from Quiet, Noisy, Loud and Extreme. "Quiet" is the lowest voice
level adjustment, and Extreme is the highest voice level adjustment.
All Page - Select this option to be included in a whole-house page.
Using the intercom
The intercom supports communication from room to room or to the
whole house. A room can be set to Do Not Disturb and can also be set to
Monitor. The intercom microphone is built into the keypad in the upper
left hand corner of the bezel.
From the Home page, select Intercom to open the Intercom menu.
Several "options" settings you should know about.
Do Not Disturb - You will not receive pages with this option selected.
Monitor - Monitor this room. You can audibly monitor a room with this
option selected. This state is initiated from the room to be monitored. The
keypad screen shows a red screen with a warning that room monitor is
on. If any selections are made on the keypad away from this screen, room
monitor automatically shuts off. This prevents "secret" monitoring.

List all rooms - Brings up a list of all rooms in the system. Select the one
you wish to talk to.
Call all rooms - select this if you want to page all rooms.
To talk, press the select button and speak in a normal voice while
standing in front of the keypad. The microphone (located behind the
bezel in the top left corner) is sensitive enough to pick up your voice
from arm's length.
When someone calls your room, you can reply by pressing the select
button and then talking. Auto answer is a selectable option.
