CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
Novi’s 5-channel Wireless Intercom Consoles provide a wireless
audio communication link between up to ve Console stations and
one or two remote Wireless Doorbell Intercom units.
The intercom uses digital signals to control the stations called and
provide a unique “security code” that prevents other nearby Novi
5-channel intercoms from accessing the system. Either of two radio
frequencies can be selected for the intercoms to further eliminate
the chance of interference from adjacent systems.
The Console features ve station number pushbuttons for selecting
the party to call. The ALL CALL button can be used to call all ve
stations. Pressing the TALK button calls the selected station(s),
then controls the direction of the conversation. Each intercom user
presses their TALK button to activate the microphone during the
conversation.
The Doorbell works with Console stations 4 or 5. Pressing the
Doorbell’s TALK button sounds a “ding-dong” (station 5), or “dong”
(station 4) at the Console, then the conversation begins by pressing
the units’ talk buttons.
For privacy, a MUTE switch on each Console can be set to prevent
Wireless Doorbell tones and ALL CALL messages from sounding
through that Console’s speaker.
The Console can be placed on a table or shelf, or mounted to a wall
with the screws provided. The small, antenna adjusts for Console
table or wall mounting. Power for the Console is provided by a
small plug-in transformer.
The Doorbell attaches to a wall with the mounting plate provided.
Two 9-volt alkaline batteries power the Doorbell intercom.

IMPORTANT !!!
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ll an important
need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must
be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and
Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power
and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time
and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating
frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against
undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting
as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated
to the ultimate users.
• This device complies with FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada Rules and
Regulations. 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.
