The default channel for the intercom is the paging channel where all four channel lights are lit. An intercom on a channel can only hear an intercom on the same channel or on the paging channel.Battery: The AA Alkaline batteries (not provided) will last up to a year depending on use. When batteries are low intercom will emit two beeps every ten minutes.An AC Adapter (not provided) can also be used to power the intercom. In this case, both the power and channel lights will remain on.Conference Mode: Conference Mode allows multiple intercoms to participate in a conversation compared to Normal Mode in which only two intercoms can communicate. All intercoms must be set to the same channel or the paging channel to be in Conference Mode.

Place the intercom in the room that is to be monitored and press the Monitor button until a tone is heard. While in monitor mode the Active light will blink if no sound is heard and will be solid if sounds are heard. Any other networked intercom can listen to that room. If a specific channel is selected for Monitor Mode then only other intercoms on that channel or on the paging channel can listen. Press the Monitor button again to exit Monitor Mode. A tone will be heard indicating Monitor Mode is no longer active.Voice Activation Mode (VOX): Voice Activation Mode (VOX) allows a call to be answered without pressing the Talk button. Once a call is heard on an intercom which has been set to VOX, a response can be given by speaking loudly into the intercom. There will be a slight delay when VOX is first activated by a voice, but will continue to transmit audio until the speaking stops. To put intercom into VOX, place Dipswitch #1 to the UP position.
