Wireless Intercom Door Chime
Cat. No. 63-984
Your RadioShack Wireless Intercom
Door Chime operates as a two-tone
doorbell and an intercom. The chime
is simple to install because it requires
no wiring. Your chime's two channel
switch and digital cod ing prevent other
transmitters or radio devices from
sounding the chime. To conserve
power, both the receiv er and t ransmitter automatically turn off 30 seconds
after you stop using them.
The chime includes these features:
Separate Buttons for Bell and Inter-
— let your callers first anno unce
com

adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
2-Channel Transmitter and Receiver with Digital Code Selection

sure interference-free communication.

Installing the Transmitter's
Batteries
The transmitter uses four AA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
