Ventilation - The appliance
should be situated so that its
location or position does not
interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the
appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug,
or similar surface that may
block the ventilation
openings: or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a

bookcase or cabinet that may

Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information
with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and
supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit,

location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.

ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM

Your new Model MC702 is a state of the art stereo music and intercom system that
provides music and room to room communication throughout your house. An
optional door chime can be integrated into the system to provide door
communication with automatic muting. The MC702 contains a digital clock with
backup power source that maintains the correct time for up to 3 hours without
power and never needs replacing.

The innovative transflective LCD display and power-conserving back light can be
read in any lighting condition from direct sunlight to complete darkness. The unit
provides music for up to 15 rooms with plenty of power. The MC702 has a digital
phase lock loop tuner with 8 AM and 8 FM station presets. It also has two external
source inputs (AUX IN and TAPE IN) and one line output (TAPE OUT) that can be
used with M&S's built-in cassette tape and/or CD player, as well as your TV or
other music sources. The MC702 enables communication between up to 15
rooms and the master location plus up to 4 door entry locations.

The MC702 can turn itself ON and OFF at preset times like an alarm clock or
sleep-to-music device. As a home security device, it can be programmed to play
talk radio when the house is vacant. The MC702 was designed to be as user­friendly as possible the display tells you how to set the time and alarm functions.
It also shows when and how the intercom function is being used. It has a built-in
door release which can be used to open a door or gate from the master unit or
from any indoor remote room station.

The MC702 has an optional hand-held RF REMOTE CONTROL which allows you
to turn the radio on or off, scan radio stations up or down, change sources, and
change the volume up or down from ANYWHERE in or around the house.

The MC702 allows you to monitor any room (including the master unit location) to
let you know when a baby is crying or when an elderly person needs help.

Like all M&S products, the MC702 is designed to make your home atmosphere
more enjoyable. M&S is committed to producing high quality products for your
home. If you have any questions about the operation of your system, please call

SETUP

Note: The MC702 remains in the set mode for 25 seconds with no activity

(no buttons being pressed) after which the unit automatically returns
to the normal mode of operation. The TIME SET button must be
pressed again to return to the set mode.

SETTING THE TIME

When the Time/Auto Set button is
pressed momentarily, the display
will show SET TIME and the current
time will be displayed with the hours
flashing. The UP and DOWN
buttons (either TUNING UP and
DOWN or VOLUME UP and
DOWN) can then be used to
increment or decrement the current
time hours. Pressing the UP button
(or DOWN button) momentarily will
increment (or decrement) the hours
by one each time the key is pressed. Holding the UP button (or DOWN button)
depressed will rapidly increment (or decrement) the hours until the button is
released. The time display also includes the AM or PM indicator that is changed
by scrolling the hours past 12:00.

Once the current hours have been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME/AUTO SET button again. The display will show SET TIME and the current
time will be shown with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can be
used as described previously to increment or decrement the current time minutes.

Once the current minutes have been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME/AUTO SET button again to
return to the normal mode or let the
MC702 automatically return to the
normal mode if no buttons are
pressed for 25 seconds.

S

ETTING AUTOMATIC ON/OFF TIME

To set the AUTO on and off times,
the TIME/AUTO SET button must
be momentarily pressed three times

6

without changing the current time. After pressing the TIME/AUTO SET button for
the third time, the display will show SET AUTO ON TIME and the auto on time will
be displayed with the hours flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can be used as
previously described to increment or decrement the auto on time hours.

7

Once the AUTO ON TIME hours has been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME SET button again. The display will show SET AUTO ON TIME and the
AUTO ON TIME will be displayed with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN
buttons can be used as previously described to increment or decrement the AUTO
ON TIME minutes.

Once the AUTO ON TIME minutes has been set correctly, momentarily press the
button again. The display will show SET AUTO OFF TIME and the AUTO OFF
TIME will be displayed with the hours flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can
be used as previously described to increment or decrement the AUTO OFF TIME
hours.

Once the AUTO OFF TIME hours has been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME SET again. The display will show SET AUTO OFF TIME and the AUTO
OFF TIME will be displayed with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons
can be used as described previously to increment or decrement the AUTO OFF
TIME minutes.

S

ETTING THE AUTO ON VOLUME LEVEL

When the Auto function is turned
on, the MC702 will turn itself on
automatically when the current time
reaches the Automatic ON TIME
and will then turn itself OFF when
the current time reaches the
Automatic OFF TIME. When the
MC702 automatically turns itself
ON it will always turn on at the
same volume level. This "AUTO
ON VOLUME LEVEL" has a default
of 12 but it can be changed
following these simple steps:

ì Turn on the MC702 by momentarily depressing the POWER button (unless the

radio is already on).

í Momentarily press the VOLUME UP and AUTO buttons, at the same time, and

then release. The display will show the letter 'A' for AUTO ON volume followed
by the current music volume setting.

î Depress the VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN buttons to set the desired

music volume level. (1-32).

8

NOTE: The MC702's AUTO ON volume is defaulted to the last volume setting

when the music was last turned off. Therefore, it is recommended that
a new fixed auto volume setting be set since the MCTX wireless
remote control transmitter, effectively, turns off the radio when the
volume is turned down completely. If the music is turned off using the
MCTX wireless transmitter the music will AUTO ON at a volume level
of 1.

ï When you have the volume set to your desired level wait for 9 seconds. The

display will revert to the time display.
