All Rights Reserved.RadioShack and RadioShack.com are trademarksused by RadioShack Corporation.Indoor/Outdoor Modular Intercom SystemYour Indoor/Outdoor Modular Intercom System operates as a two-tone doorbell intercom and an indoor intercom. The doorbell is simple to install without wiring and you can add additional stations.PREPARATIONInstalling the Doorbell’s BatteriesYour doorbell intercom uses four AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.Caution: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws in the doorbell intercom’s battery compartment cover, then lift the cover off.2. Insert four AA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.3. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.Hint: For convenience, set the channel (see “Setting the Channel”) while you have the battery cover removed.Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.Caution: If you do not plan to use the doorbell for two weeks or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.If the doorbell unit operates under severe cold weather, use a lithuim type AA battery.Setting the Channel The doorbell and indoor intercoms have three selectable operation channels to prevent interference from similar products nearby. Select the same channel for both the doorbell intercom and the indoor intercom.On the doorbell intercom, slide CH inside the battery compartment to 1 (912.45MHz), 2 (913.45MHz), or 3 (914.45MHz).On the back of the indoor intercom, set OUTDOOR CHANNEL to the same channel number (1, 2 or 3) you chose for the doorbell intercom.Note: If the doorbell occasionally sounds without anyone pressing BELL on the doorbell, change the channel settings.Changing the Doorbell’s ToneUse a small flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pull out the jumper TONE switch located in the battery compartment, then insert the jumper TONE switch into the other two pins.43-3101.fm Page 1 Friday, November 9, 2001 8:30 AM
2Setting the Doorbell’s VolumeSlide VOL located inside the battery compartment to level 1, 2 or 3.Testing the DoorbellTest the doorbell before permanently mounting it. With the indoor intercom plugged into a standard AC outlet, adjust VOLUME on the indoor intercom to its middle position. Press BELL on the doorbell intercom. The doorbell should sound.Mounting the Doorbell1. Drill four 3/16 inch diameter holes into the mounting surface. Insert an anchor into each hole.2. Align the supplied metal mounting bracket with the drilled holes and drive a screw (supplied) through the bracket into each hole. Do not overtighten the screws.3. Align the slot on the back of the doorbell with the hook on the mounting bracket. Carefully push the doorbell onto the hook and slide it down to secure it.4. Once the doorbell is securely on the bracket, insert the pan-head machine screw (supplied) through the hole on the lower edge of the doorbell into the threaded holes in the bracket. Mounting the Indoor IntercomFollow these steps to mount the indoor intercom on a wall. Note: You need two screws (supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the intercom.1. Mark the mounting screw locations 21/2 inches (64 mm) apart, one above the other.2. Drill a starter hole at each mark.3. Thread a screw into each hole until the screw’s head extends about 1/8 inch (3.5mm) from the wall.4. Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the intercom with the screw heads in the wall, then slide the intercom down to secure it and lift and extend the antenna.Connecting the Indoor Intercom to AC PowerLocate a standard AC outlet in the area where you want to hear the chime and use the intercom. Plug the indoor intercom’s power cord into the outlet. Caution: This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug ( a plug having a third grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your AC outlet, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.Important: Be sure you install the stations at least 10 feet away from each other. Placing the stations too close together produces feedback (a squeal or howl from the speakers). The stations can transmit up to 300 feet, including between buildings, as long as they are connected to the same power line transformer.OPERATIONTurning the Indoor Intercom On and Off and Adjusting the VolumeRotate VOLUME counterclockwise until it clicks. The POWER indicator lights. Then adjust VOLUME to the desired listening level. To turn off the indoor intercom, rotate VOLUME clockwise until it clicks. The POWER indicator turns off.43-3101.fm Page 2 Friday, November 9, 2001 8:30 AM
3Using the DoorbellYour visitor presses BELL on the doorbell to sound the doorbell.Hold down TALK TO DOOR on the indoor intercom to reply to the caller. The TALK TO DOOR indicator lights. When you release TALK TO DOOR, the caller can reply by pressing PRESS TO TALK on the doorbell intercom.Notes:• If there is no voice communication between the doorbell and the indoor intercom within about 10 seconds, the doorbell intercom may be disabled and should be initialized by pressing BELL again.• You can also use other intercoms to reply to the doorbell as long as they are set on the same frequency.• If the channel is occupied by other intercom users, the door chime cannot be sent to the intercoms in use. The conversation between intercoms will not be sent to the doorbell.USING MULTIPLE INTERCOMSYou can set up several indoor intercoms for station-to-station communication. Simply set CHANNEL A/B/C on the back of each intercom to the same frequency as other stations with which you want to communicate.For example, you could set a station installed in the kitchen to channel A, a station installed in the family room to channel B, and a station installed in a bedroom to channel C. Using the station installed in the kitchen, you can communicate with the station in the family room by setting the channel selector to B, or with the station in the bedroom by setting the channel selector to C. If you set all stations to channel A, you can communicate with the other two stations from any station.Calling Another Intercom StationBe sure the intercom stations you plan to use are turned on and adjusted to the desired volume. Press CALL to sound a tone alerting the person at the other station that you are about to speak. The CALL indicator lights.Hold down TALK and speak in a normal voice. The TALK indicator lights. When you finish speaking, release TALK and listen for a response.Notes:• Only one party can talk at a time.
