Indoor/Outdoor Modular Intercom System
43-3107 OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your Indoor/Outdoor Modular Intercom

intercom and an indoor intercom. The
doorbell is simple to install without wiring and
you can add additional stations.

batteries (not supplied) for power. For the
best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

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.

Mounting the Doorbell
1. 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.
3. Thread a screw into each hole until the
screw’s head extends about
(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 Power
Locate 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:
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 groundingtype plug.
Important:
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
