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-NCF01FR). Both can be purchased separately. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE ONLY THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK THAT IS SPECIFIED ABOVE (GES-NCF01FR). USING ANOTHER MAY NOT 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 SETTING THE CHANNEL and SETTING THE SUBCODE for more information). 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. ON TURNING THE INTERCOM ON AND OFF 1. To turn the Intercom on, rotate the OFF antenna clockwise to a vertical position. 2. To turn the Intercom off, rotate the antenna back to a horizontal position. ADJUSTING THE VOLUME The speaker volume level is indicated by the number of bars on the symbol displayed on the bottom right portion of the LCD screen. 1. Press the button to increase the volume and the button to decrease the volume. TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING - TALKING TO OTHERS IN YOUR GROUP To communicate with others in your group, all members must have their units configured to the same channel and subcode. See SETTING THE CHANNEL and SETTING THE SUBCODE for more information. When the intercom is on and not transmitting, the unit is in the standby mode. When you receive a signal from another member in your group, the symbol will be displayed on the LCD. To send a signal: 1. Press and hold the TALK button to transmit. The transmit indicator will light RED and the symbol will be displayed on the LCD. 2. While holding the TALK button, speak in a normal voice approximately 6 inches away from the unit. 3. Release the TALK button when you have finished speaking. IMPORTANT: To ensure that part of your communication is not cut off, allow a short pause after pressing and before releasing the TALK button when speaking. YOU CANNOT RECEIVE INCOMING MESSAGES WHEN THE TALK BUTTON IS PRESSED. 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. SETTING THE CHANNEL 1. Press the MENU button repeatedly until the current channel flashes on the LCD. 2. Use the and buttons to select the desired channel (1-14). 3. Press the TALK button to confirm the channel selection and return to the standby mode. 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 MENU button repeatedly until the current subcode flashes on the LCD. 2. Use the and buttons to select the desired subcode (0-38). Selecting 0 disables the subcode feature. 3. Press the TALK button to confirm the subcode selection and return to the standby mode. SCANNING CHANNELS This feature continuously scans all channels and stops on the first active channel (observed traffic). 1. Press the SCAN button once. The symbol appears on the LCD and the unit begins scanning all 14 channels in order. The unit stops on the first active channel detected. 2. Press the TALK button to communicate on that channel and leave the scan mode, or press or to continue scanning for other active channels. 3. Press the SCAN button again to stop scanning. MONITORING CHANNELS By pressing the MONITOR button, you are able to 'listen' to all traffic or noise active on the current channel, regardless of signal strength and subcode settings. For continuous monitoring, press and hold the MONITOR button for at least three seconds. To deactivate continuous monitoring, press the MONITOR button again. 3.875" CALL The Intercom is equipped with a call feature that allows you to alert another party. In order for the call feature to work, all radios must be on. 1. Press the CALL button once. The transmit indicator will light RED and the symbol will be displayed on the LCD, indicating that a call transmission is taking place. 2. All nearby radios operating on the same channel and subcode will emit a page tone. VOICE-ACTIVATED TRANSMISSION The Intercom is equipped with a voice-activated transmission mode (hands-free mode). The unit will transmit voice signals (and other loud sounds) without having to press the TALK button. 1. Press the MENU button repeatedly until the symbol flashes on the LCD. 2. Use the button to enable voice activated transmission and the button to disable it. 3. Press the TALK button to confirm the selection and return to the standby mode. KEY LOCK This function prevents unintended setting changes by locking all buttons. IMPORTANT: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL, SUBCODE , VOICE-ACTIVATED TRANSMISSION SETTINGS, OR OTHER SETTINGS WHEN THE KEY LOCK FEATURE IS ACTIVATED. 1. To lock the unit, press and hold the MENU button for five seconds until the symbol appears on the LCD. 2. To unlock the unit, press and hold the MENU button for five seconds until the symbol disappears from the LCD. BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR The symbol on the LCD shows the remaining battery level. Squares inside the symbol disappear as the battery life decreases. When the battery level is low, the symbol will flash, indicating that the batteries need to be changed. No rechargeable batteries allowed. (see BATTERY INSTALLATION for more information). CARING FOR YOUR INTERCOM To clean the intercom, wipe with a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents on the radio as they can harm the body and leak inside, causing permanent damage. Battery contacts can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth. If the intercom gets wet, turn off and remove batteries immediately. Dry the battery compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave cover off the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry. Do not use intercom until completely dry.
