3-Station FM Wireless Intercom System

Your Nexxtech 3-Station FM Wireless Intercom System is convenient and easy to use. Installation is quick and simple. Simply plug each of the three supplied stations into a standard three-wire AC outlet, and you are ready to send and receive calls or monitor an area where a station is installed. Each of your intercom’s stations has the following features:

Precision PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Circuit — provides clear and reliable

communications.

Built-In Frequency Modulation Circuit — reduces line noise and interference from appliances.

Adjustable Volume Control — allows you to alter the volume to suit the noise level in the room.

Lockable Talk Bar — allows you to talk to or monitor a room hands-free.

Call Tone — alerts other stations before you start talking.

Talk Indicator — illuminates when you transmit to another station by pressing

CALL, TALK, or LOCK.

Desk or Wall Mounting Capabilities —

provide easy, convenient placement of stations.

Your intercom system is cUL listed to CSA standards and meets all applicable Industry Canada standards.

INSTALLATION

You can install the stations almost anywhere there is a standard AC outlet. Simply plug each station into an outlet and place it directly on a desk, shelf, table or on a wall.

Important: Stations can transmit up to 90 metres (300 feet) and between buildings as long as they are connected to the same power line transformer.

Note: Make sure you install the stations at least 3 metres (10 feet) away from each other. Placing the stations too close together produces feedback and creates a squealing sound.

Mounting

To mount a station on the wall, you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the stations.

1. Select a location for the station. Mark the mounting screw locations on the wall 70mm (2

/4 inches) apart, one above the

other.

2. Drill holes at the marked locations.

3. Thread a screw into each hole allowing the screw heads to extend about 3.5mm (1/8 inch) from the wall.

4. Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the station with the screw heads in the wall. Slide the station down onto the screws to secure it.

OPERATION

Setting the Channel

Each station has three channels, so you can select which station or stations you want to communicate with. You can also use a station to monitor sounds near another station.

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. Write the names on the Station Directory.

A B C

Kitchen Family room Bedroom

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. Or, if you set all stations to Channel A, you can communicate with the other two stations from any station.

Set the channel selector on each station as follows:

• If you want all the stations to communicate with each other at the same time, set all stations to the same channel.

• If you want to use a station to communicate with only one of the other stations, set only those stations to the same channel.

Turning a Station On and Off/ Adjusting the Volume

Rotate VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.

POWER indicator lights. Then adjust VOLUME

to a comfortable listening level. To turn off the station, rotate

VOLUME counterclockwise until

it clicks.

POWER indicator turns off.

Calling Another Station

1. Be sure the stations you plan to use are turned on and adjusted to the desired volume.

2. Set the channel selector to the channel (A, B or C) for the station(s) you are calling.

3. Press CALL. Each station that is on and set to the selected channel sounds a tone.

4. Hold down TAL K and speak in a normal voice. When you finish speaking, release TALK and listen for the response.

Notes:

• Only one party can talk on a channel at a time.

• The TALK indicator on the station you are using remains lit as long as you hold down

TALK or CALL, or when you

press

LOCK.

• If your voice sounds distorted, you might be speaking too loudly or too close to the microphone.

• Set the channel selector back to your designated channel after you finish talking, so others can easily reach you.

Monitoring

You can set any station so it continuously transmits sounds from the area where it is located to another station. For example, you could set the station in a baby’s bedroom, then use the station in the kitchen to monitor the sounds.

Note: You can monitor only one station at a time.

1. Press LOCK on the station in the area you want to monitor. The TALK indicator lights.

Note: The TALK indicator stays lit until you press

CALL or TALK. This lets you

know that the station is transmitting.

2. Set the channel selectors on both stations to the same channel.

3. When you finish monitoring, release the lock by pressing

TALK or CALL on the

station in the area you are monitoring. The TALK indicator turns off.

Note: After pressing LOCK on a station, you cannot call or talk to that station until you press

TALK or CALL to release the

lock.

Using Additional Stations

You can add additional stations to your intercom system as long as they transmit on the same frequency. Any intercom that transmits on the same frequencies is

compatible. The intercom’s channels and transmitting frequencies are shown below:

A ....................................... 200 kHz ±2.5 kHz

B ....................................... 270 kHz ±2.5 kHz

C ....................................... 230 kHz ±2.5 kHz

Stations in the same box have the same frequency.

Be sure the frequency of the stations you plan to add matches the frequency of your current stations. If you want to set up a separate intercom system, however, be sure it operates on a different frequency.
