CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

Novi’s 5-channel Wireless Intercom Consoles provide a wireless audio communication link between up to five Console stations and one or two remote Wireless Doorbell Intercom units.

The intercom uses digital signals to control the stations called and provide a unique “security code” that prevents other nearby Novi

5-channel intercoms from accessing the system. Either of two radio frequencies can be selected for the intercoms to further eliminate the chance of interference from adjacent systems.

The Console features five station number pushbuttons for selecting the party to call. The ALL CALL button can be used to call all five stations. Pressing the TALK button calls the selected station(s), then controls the direction of the conversation. Each intercom user presses their TALK button to activate the microphone during the conversation.

The Doorbell works with Console stations 4 or 5. Pressing the

Doorbell’s TALK button sounds a “ding-dong” (station 5), or “dong”

(station 4) at the Console, then the conversation begins by pressing the units’ talk buttons.

For privacy, a MUTE switch on each Console can be set to prevent

Wireless Doorbell tones and ALL CALL messages from sounding through that Console’s speaker.

The Console can be placed on a table or shelf, or mounted to a wall with the screws provided. The small, antenna adjusts for Console table or wall mounting. Power for the Console is provided by a small plug-in transformer.

The Doorbell attaches to a wall with the mounting plate provided.

Two 9-volt alkaline batteries power the Doorbell intercom.

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and

Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.

• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.

• This device complies with FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada Rules and

Regulations. 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.
