BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONS BATTERY INSTALLATION
The Intercom is designed to operate on both AC adapter and battery power. Using the AC
adapter ensures uninterrupted communication with other members in your group.
If using standard alkaline batteries (sold separately):
1. Remove the battery cover on the bottom of the unit by pulling on the small tab.
2. Insert (4) "AA" alkaline batteries with the polarities as shown in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
If using the AC adapter (included):
1. Plug the AC adapter plug into the corresponding
jack located on the back of the unit.
2. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V outlet.
The Wireless Intercom is also equipped with two
charging cradles. These are designed to charge
GE Wireless Handheld 2-Way Radios
(GE5811-WHH) that are used in conjunction
with the GE/Sanyo Rechargeable Battery Pack
(GES-NCF FR). Both can be purchased separately.

WORK AS THE UNIT IS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR IT.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE ALKALINE
BATTERIES. KEEP THE HANDHELD UNITS OUT OF THE
CHARGING CRADLES WHEN USING STANDARD BATTERIES.
You can have multiple handheld units and intercoms to complete your family communications
needs. The units will all communicate with each other as long as they are set to the same channel
and subcode (see and for more information).SETTING THE CHANNEL SETTING THE SUBCODE
IMPORTANT: Remove batteries before storing the Wireless Intercom for extended periods.
Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to the unit. Different types
of batteries or new and used batteries should not be mixed. Exhausted batteries should be
removed from the unit and disposed of properly.

CHANNELS AND SUBCODES
The Intercom transmits and receives voice signals on 14 selectable channels (frequencies). In
addition to the 14 channels, the units are equipped with 38 selectable subcodes. To speak with
others in your group, all members must have their units configured to the same channel and subcode.

2. Use the and buttons to select the desired channel (1-14).
3. Press the button to confirm the channel selection and return to the standby mode.TALK
SETTING THE SUBCODE
Subcodes help filter interference and noise from other systems operating on the same channel.
When a subcode is activated, the unit ignores signals that are set to a different subcode. Thus,
a group can communicate on a 'noisy' channel using the subcode feature. The feature is perfect
for areas with heavy usage (e.g. construction zones) in which all 14 channels may be occupied.
1. Press the button repeatedly until the current subcode flashes on the LCD.MENU
2. Use the and buttons to select the desired subcode (0-38). Selecting 0 disables the
subcode feature.
3. Press the button to confirm the subcode selection and return to the standby mode.TALK

1. Press the button once. The symbol appears on the LCD and the unit beginsSCAN
scanning all 14 channels in order. The unit stops on the first active channel detected.
2. Press the button to communicate on that channel and leave the scan mode, or pressTALK
or to continue scanning for other active channels.
3. Press the button again to stop scanning.SCAN
MONITORING CHANNELS
By pressing the button, you are able to 'listen' to all traffic or noise active on the currentMONITOR
channel, regardless of signal strength and subcode settings. For continuous monitoring, press and
hold the button for at least three seconds. To deactivate continuous monitoring, pressMONITOR
the button again.MONITOR

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.
WARNING: Adjustment to this unit or replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc)
to this unit that could result in a violation of the rules.
NOTE: 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:
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT)
button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty
factor not to exceed 50 %. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
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 the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
Risk of fire
When using an AC
to DC adapter, insure
proper polarity and
voltage.
