equipment. Do not touch any parts that are 
not associated with the installation, wiring, 
or connection. Electric shock could result.
Dismantling
or
alteration
2.  Do not dismantle or alter the unit.
Fire or electric shock could result.
3.  Keep the unit away from water or any 
other liquid.
Fire or electric shock could result.
4.  The unit is not explosion-proof. Do not 
install or use near gases or fl ammable 
materials. 
Fire or explosion could result.
5.  Do not connect any terminal on the unit 
to an AC power line.

result.
 Caution
Negligence could result in injury to people or damage to property.
1.  Do not install or make any wire 
terminations while power supply is 
plugged in. It can cause electrical shock 
or damage to the unit.
2.  Before turning on power, make sure 
wires are not crossed or shorted. If not, 
fi re or electric shock could result.
3.  Do not install the unit in any of the 
following locations. Fire, electric shock, 
or unit trouble could result.
 • Places under direct sunlight or places 
near heating equipment that varies in 
temperature.
 • Places subject to dust, oil, chemicals, 
hydrogen sulfi de (hot spring).
 • Places subject to moisture and 
humidity extremes, such as 
bathrooms, cellars, greenhouses, etc.
 • Places where the temperature is quite 
low, such as inside a refrigerated area 
or in front of an air conditioner.
 • Places subject to steam or smoke (near 
heating or cooking surfaces).
 • Where noise generating devices 
such as dimmer switches or inverter 
electrical appliances are close by.
 • Locations subject to extremely 
powerful electric fi elds.
4.  When mounting the unit on a wall, 
install the unit in a convenient location, 
but not where it could be jarred or 
bumped. Injury could result.
5.  Do not place or install the unit in the 
locations subject to frequent vibration or 
impact. If the unit falls, injury to people 
or damage to the unit could result.
6.  Do not run wires between movable 
objects (doors, windows, etc.). It may 
cause malfunction.
7.  Do not put anything on the unit or cover 
the unit with cloth, etc. Fire or unit 
trouble could result.
8.  Be sure to perform a call test or check 
the chime volume with the handset on 
the hook. If you operate the hook switch 
with the handset on your ear, a sudden 
call etc. may arrive causing damage to 
your ear.

is fl owing out, such as incoming line ports, in order to prevent condensation.
23. Keep the intercom wires more than 30cm (12’’) away from AC 100-240V wiring. AC induced noise and/or 
unit malfunction could result.
24. Door station is weather-resistant, but do not spray high-pressure water. Unit trouble could result.
25. Due to the nature of the camera built into the Video Door Station, external light and the surrounding 
environment may affect the projection quality of the TV monitor, so please avoid installing in the following 
locations.

Connection Precautions
 Cable
The cable is not included with the product.
CAT5e/6 cable
•  Use a straight cable when connecting between equipment.
•  Do not use a CAT5e/6 cable with a bending angle of less than a 
25 mm (1”) radius. A radius of less than 25 mm (1”) could cause a 
communication failure.
CAT5e/6 cableCAT5e/6 cable
Radius ≥ 25 mm (1") Radius < 25 mm (1")
•  Do not peel the jacket off the CAT5e/6 cable any more than is 
necessary.
•  Attach the RJ45 modular plugs using either EIA/TIA-568A or 568B.

•  Use the LAN tester to confi rm conduction before connecting the 
CAT5e/6 cable.
•  The RJ45 connector with cover cannot be connected to CAT5e/6 cable 
terminals for Master Station or Door Stations. Use cables without covers 
on the connectors.
•  Do not pull the CAT5e/6 cable or apply excessive load.
Cable precautions
•  Do not use separate conductors or twisted pair cables.
•  Do not use an odd number cable.
