Simply plug each of the three supplied stations into a standard three-wire AC outlet, and you are ready to send and receive calls or monitor an area where a station is installed. Each of your intercom’s stations has the following features:

Adjustable Volume Control — allows you to alter the volume to suit the noise level in the room.

Lockable Talk Bar — allows you to talk to or monitor a room hands-free.

Call Tone — alerts other stations before you start talking.

Desk or Wall Mounting Capabilities — provide easy, convenient placement of stations.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature accompanying this product.

INSTALLATION

You can install the stations almost anywhere there is a standard AC outlet. Simply plug each station into an outlet and place it directly on a desk, shelf, table or on a wall.

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

Note: Make sure you install the stations at least 10 feet away from each other. Placing the stations too close together produces feedback and creates a squealing sound.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT OPEN.

4. Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the station with the screw heads in the wall. Slide the station down onto the screws to secure it.

OPERATION

Setting the Channel

Each station has three channels, so you can select which station or stations you want to communicate with. 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 family room to Channel B, and a station installed in a bedroom to Channel C. Using the station installed in the kitchen, you can communicate with the station in the family room by setting the channel selector to B, or with the station in the bedroom by setting the channel selector to C. Or, if you set all stations to Channel A, you can communicate with the other two stations from any station.

Set the channel selector on each station as follows:

• If you want all the stations to communicate with each other at the same time, set all stations to the same channel.

• If you want to use a station to communicate with only one of the other stations, set only those stations to the same channel.

Turning a Station On and Off/

Adjusting the Volume

Rotate VOLUME counterclockwise until it clicks. Then adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level. To turn off the station, rotate

VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.

Calling Another Station

1. Be sure the stations you plan to use are turned on and adjusted to the desired volume.

2. Set the channel selector to the channel

(A, B or C) for the station(s) you are calling.

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

4. Hold down TALK and speak in a normal voice. When you finish speaking, release

TALK and listen for the response.

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.

Monitoring

You can set any station so it continuously transmits sounds from the area where it is located to another station. For example, you could set the station in a baby’s bedroom, then use the station in the kitchen to monitor the sounds.

Note: You can monitor only one station at a time.

2

1. Press LOCK on the station in the area you want to monitor. The TALK indicator lights.

Note: The TALK indicator stays lit until you press CALL or TALK . This lets you know that the station is transmitting.

2. Set the channel selectors on both stations to the same channel.

3. When you finish monitoring, release the lock by pressing TALK or CALL on the station in the area you are monitoring.

The TALK indicator turns off.

Note: After pressing LOCK on a station, you cannot call or talk to that station until you press TALK or CALL to release the lock.

Using Additional Stations

You can add additional stations to your intercom system as long as they transmit on the same frequency. The stations and their box are labeled to indicate each station’s frequency – A (200 kHz), B (270 kHz), or C (230 kHz).

Stations in the same box have the same frequency.

Be sure the letter on the stations you plan to add matches the letter on your current stations. If you want to set up a separate intercom system, however, be sure it operates on a different frequency.

THE FCC WANTS YOU

TO KNOW

Your intercom system might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your stations are causing the interference, turn them off. If the interference goes away, your stations are causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

• Moving both stations away from the receiver

• Connecting the stations to outlets that are on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your intercom system.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

You must use shielded interface cables with this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CARE

Keep the station dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the station only in normal temperature environments. Handle the station carefully; do not drop it. Keep the station away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the station’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your

FCC authorization to operate it. If your station is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
