Introduction and Installation

Before installation
To avoid malfunction or communication disturbance, do not install the monitor
station in the following locations:
– Places where vibration or any other kind of impact occurs.
– Places where echoing is frequent.
– Places where a high concentration of dust, hydrogen sulfide, phosphorus,
ammonia, sulfur, carbon, acid, or noxious fumes occur.
– Within 2 m (6′7″) of a TV, microwave, personal computer, air conditioner or any
other electrical device.
The monitor station and AC adaptor are for indoor use only.
Do not use it outdoors, otherwise it may malfunction.
• Use the flush mount unit (sold separately) when installing the monitor station into
a wall.
– Refer to the Installation and Operation Guide that is included with the flush
mount unit for details on installing the flush mount unit.
Standard installation position of the monitor station
Place the monitor station in a location so that your eyes are the same height as the
center of the display.
Note:
• In areas surrounded by high electrical field, disturbance may occur in the monitor
station’s image or sound.
• Be sure to install the monitor station more than 5 m (16′5″) away from the door
station.
• Please check that there is a partition of a wall etc. between a monitor station and
sub monitor station and attach them.
• Do not place any objects within 20 cm (8 inches) of the monitor station. This may
cause communication errors or malfunction.
• Do not install the monitor station inside a wall, without using the flush mount unit.

Using the unit

Connecting to a PBX
Connecting to a PBX allows you to answer door calls from any telephone. See page
14 for wiring information.
Please use only a Panasonic PBX. See page 8 for the PBX model list that is
compatible and other optional hardware.
Important:
• At first, set “PBX SELECT” to “ON” in the menu settings. (Page 40)
【SELECT (▲) 】
【SELECT (▼) 】
【MENU】

Note:
• If you answer a call from the door station with a PBX extension, the camera
image from the door station will be displayed at the monitor station. If the monitor
station user tries to answer the call, a beep will sound. The display will turn off
when the conversation has ended or when the conversation has continued for
more than 3 minutes.
• If you answer a call from the door station with the monitor station, the call will
continue to ring at the PBX for about 15 to 30 seconds. If the PBX user answers
the call while the call is still ringing, the door station user, the monitor station user,
and the PBX user can speak together.
