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. ! Ô
MOUNTING
To mount a station on the wall, you need two screws (not
supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the
bottom of the stations.
1. Select a location for the station. Mark the mounting
screw locations on the wall 2 inches (50.8 mm) apart,
one above the other.
2. Drill holes at the marked locations.
3. Thread a screw into each hole allowing the screw
heads to extend about 3/16 inch (4.3 mm) from the wall.
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 two channels, so you can select which
station you want to communicate with. You can also use a
station to monitor sounds near another station.
! IMPORTANT !
Stations can transmit up to 300
feet and between buildings as long
as they are connected to the same
power line transformer.
Ô NOTE Ô
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.
2
For example, you could set a station installed in the kitchen
to Channel A and a station installed in the family room to
Channel B. Using the station installed in the kitchen, you
can communicate with the station in the family room by
setting the channel selector to B.
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
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
AND
OFF/
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.
Ô NOTE Ô
•
Only one party can talk on a
channel at a time.
•
The TX indicator on the station
you are using remains lit as long
as you hold down TALK or
CALL, or when you press
LOCK.
•
Set the channel selector back to
your designated channel after
you finish talking, so others can
easily reach you.
•
You can monitor only one
station at a time.
•
The TX indicator stays lit until
you press CALL or TALK. This
lets you know that the station is
transmitting.
•
After pressing LOCK on a
station, you cannot call or talk to
that station until you press
TALK or CALL to release the
lock.
CALLING ANOTHER STATION
1. Set the channel selector to the channel (A or B) for the
station you are calling.
2. Press CALL. The station that is on and set to the
selected channel sounds a tone.
3. Hold down TALK and speak in a normal voice. When
you finish speaking, release TALK and listen for the
response. Ô
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. Ô
1. Press LOCK on the station in the area you want to
monitor. The TX indicator lights. Ô
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 TX indicator turns off. Ô
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). 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.
Care
Keep the intercom dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the intercom only in normal
temperature environments. Handle
the intercom carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the intercom away from dust
and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Service and Repair
If your intercom is not performing as
it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. To
locate your nearest RadioShack, use
the store locator feature on
RadioShack's website
(www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800The Shack (843-7422) and follow the
menu options. Modifying or
tampering with the intercom's internal
components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and
void your FCC authorization to
operate it.

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.
