OPERATION

SETTING THE CHANNEL

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

For example, you could set a station installedin the kitchen
to ChannelA and a station installed in the family room to
Channel B. Using the station installed in the kitchen, you
can communicate with thestation in the family room by
setting the channel selector to B.

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.

box have the same frequency.

Be sure the letter on the stationsyou plan to add matches
the letteron your current stations. If you want to set up a
separate intercom system, however, be sure it operates on
a differentfrequency.

wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the intercom only in normal
temperature environments. Handle
the intercom carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the intercom away from dust
and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
