Intercom System Instructions
This sheet explains the features of the PC4936/
PC5936 audio system. You can page, answer
pages, answer the telephone or doorbell, and monitor another area at any interior audio station. Interior audio stations look like this:
Do Not Disturb light
Do Not Disturb button
Page/Answer button
Paging
You can use the audio system to call (page) other
people on the premises. Only one page can take
place at a time.
To page someone:
Press on any interior audio station.
Talk into the audio station. The system broadcasts
your voice to all other interior audio stations.
To answer a page:
Press on any other interior audio station.
The system sets up a private communication link
between the paging and answering audio stations.
When the microphone is active on your audio station, the Do Not Disturb (DND) light will turn on.
To end a page:
Either person can press on their audio
station.
To cancel a page:
Press a second time.
The page will automatically be cancelled if there is
no response in 30 seconds.
Responding to a Page Handsfree
If your system has been set up to allow handsfree
responses to a page, all audio stations will be able
to communicate with the paging station for 30 seconds without pressing the Page/Answer button.
To respond to a page handsfree:
Once the page tone is heard, talk into the closest
audio station. You do not need to press the Page/
Answer button.
To talk longer than 30 seconds:
Before the 30 seconds are up, briefly press
on the closest audio station to establish a
private communication link.
NOTE: The handsfree feature will not work if
there is already a page in progress, a telephone
call is in progress or if the monitor feature is
active.
Do Not Disturb
To avoid hearing pages, doorbell calls, telephone
calls or monitoring, put the audio station on 'Do
Not Disturb'.

The red light on the station will turn on.

Answering the Doorbell
Your system may have one or
more doorbell stations (as shown
at left).
The doorbell station has only one
button, a call button. Doorbell
stations cannot receive pages,
monitor or receive telephone
calls.
To use the doorbell station:
Press the button on the station. All the interior
audio stations will chime. If you have 2 doorbell stations in different locations, they can
activate different chimes. This will help you
identify where the call is coming from.
To answer a doorbell call:
Press on any interior audio station. A
private communication link is established
between the doorbell station and the audio station that answered.
Doorbell While on Page
If a page is in progress when a doorbell is
pressed, only the two persons on the page will
hear the doorbell tone.
To answer the doorbell while on page:
Either person can press on their
audio station.
The page is disconnected and the person who
pressed the Page/Answer button is immediately
connected to the doorbell station.
Opening the Door (Using Doorstrike)
If your system has been set up for doorstrike
operation, when you answer a call from a doorbell station, you can open the door near the
doorbell.
To open the door:
Press and hold on the interior audio
station for 2 seconds.
The system sounds an acknowledgement beep
and the door opens.
Answering the Doorbell “Handsfree”
If your system has been set up to allow handsfree responses to doorbells, all audio stations
will have 30 seconds to communicate with the
doorbell station which initiated the page.
To respond to a doorbell handsfree:
When you hear the doorbell, talk into the closest audio station. You do not need to press the
Page/Answer button.
To talk longer than 30 seconds:
Before the 30 seconds are up, briefly press
on the closest audio station to estab-
lish a private communication link.
CAUTION: Do not hold the Page/Answer button for more than 1 second, to avoid accidentally opening the door (see Opening the Door).
NOTE: The handsfree feature will not work if
there is already a page in progress, a telephone
call is in progress or if the monitor feature is
active.
Monitoring
You can use the Monitor feature to broadcast
one interior audio station to all the other interior audio stations on the premises. For example, this may be useful for monitoring a baby in
a room.
Interior audio stations can still be used to initiate/answer pages, annunciate and answer the
doorbell and answer telephone calls. If a conversation is in progress, the Monitor feature
will not operate until the conversation is ended.
To turn on the Monitor feature:
1. Go to the audio station in the room you
want to monitor.
2. Press and hold for at least 2
seconds. The Do Not Disturb light
flashes and the station is put in Monitor
mode. All sound in the room will be
transmitted to all the other interior
audio stations.
