Introduction
Welcome to ComPoint
™
Thank you for choosing a Russound
ComPoint system for your home or business. While you may already be familiar
with paging and intercom systems, each
system works differently. We’ve designed
ComPoint for ease of operation and with
a unique set of capabilities to meet your
communication needs. You’ll be pleased
with the way the system simplifies your life,
and we’re confident you’ll enjoy using
ComPoint every day.
ComPoint integrates the following features:
System-wide paging
Perhaps you want to call the family to dinner, move your party guests to the living
room, or summon everyone in the office to
an important meeting. ComPoint’s paging
feature allows you to do all this with ease.
You can let everybody know about an
important event like a birthday or anniversary, or you can broadcast a message for
someone to pick up the phone or come see
you. Whatever announcement you want to
make throughout your home or business,
paging allows you to get the word out.
What’s more, if you’re paging an individual, that person can reply to your page
from the nearest keypad.
Point-to-point intercom
One of ComPoint’s most useful functions is
the intercom feature. You need to talk with
someone in another room out of earshot,
and you can’t leave the room you’re in. The
solution? The intercom feature lets you contact the person directly, saving you steps
and time.
Whenever you want to reach a particular
person without disturbing the whole house
or office, the intercom feature connects you
to the room the person is in. You can think
of an intercom session as a private conversation while paging is a public announcement. Also, intercom enables two-way
conversations, whereas paging is intended
for one-way communication.
Door station call and reply
With ComPoint at your service, you don’t
have to run to the door every time the
doorbell rings. If you can’t get to the door
right away, the door station call function
gives you the convenience of answering the
door from any room.
At any keypad you can have a two-way
conversation with the caller to find out who
it is and the purpose of their visit—before
you even approach the door.
Doorbell chimes
With ComPoint, you can have separate
doorbell chimes for two doors. You have a
choice of seven different chime tones that
your installer can assign. Or you can use a
separate doorbell system if you prefer.

Introduction
Door strike release
Did someone in the family forget their keys?
Did a friend drop by? ComPoint offers an
optional module that works with a door
strike release to let you admit your visitor
from any keypad without going to the door
in person. Imagine the convenience of not
having to leave the baby or interrupt an
important task to go and open the door for
your visitor.
Listen to another room
Need to keep an ear open for someone?
Wondering what the kids are doing? With
ComPoint you’re within earshot of any
other room. Listen mode keeps you in touch
with what’s going on in any room with a
keypad.
Do not disturb
When you’ve tucked your kids into bed or
you need peace and quiet in the study to
concentrate, you can switch the room keypad to Do Not Disturb. This prevents all
communication events from being heard in
that room.
Hands free
One of the nicest features in ComPoint is
the ability to reply to intercom calls without
having to touch the keypad. And when the
delivery person rings your doorbell, they
can answer your reply without having to
press the Call key again.
Integration with your music system
For even greater convenience, your
ComPoint system can share the speakers in
your multiroom audio system. When active,
ComPoint switches the speakers over to the
keypad amplifiers in the affected rooms,
momentarily interrupting the audio program. When the activity ends, the speakers
resume playing your audio program.
As an alternative, ComPoint can stand
alone by using the optional ISSP ComPoint
Speakers next to the keypads.
About this manual
This section of the manual is for you, the
user. It explains what you need to know to
use and enjoy your ComPoint system.
Reading these first several pages will help
you get the most out of your system. As you
learn, share your discoveries with others in
your family or office so they too can enjoy
using ComPoint.
The Installer section that follows provides
more technical information and gets into
the nitty gritty of how the system works. It’s
intended for your installer, but you’re welcome to read it, too.
We recommend keeping this manual in a
safe, accessible place so you can refer to it
when you need to.

Using your ComPoint system
ComPoint is easy and fun to use. You’ll find
these instructions simple to follow. Take a
little time to get familiar with them so you
can start enjoying your system right away.
Things you’ll need to know
With ComPoint, we refer to areas with keypads as
zones
. A zone may be a single
room or an area with more than one room,
such as a kitchen and dining area.
Every communication has a sender and a
receiver. With ComPoint, we call any zone
that starts a communication the
sending
zone
. The zone or zones to which the com-
munication is sent are
receiving zones
,
even though they may reply to the initial
communication. For an intercom session,
the receiving zone is also the
target zone
.
Certain communications take priority over
others. A door station call interrupts any
other communication in progress. Paging is
allowed only when there is no door station
call or intercom session already under way.
An intercom session is allowed only when
there is no door station call or page in
progress. Paging and intercom interrupt
Listen mode.
Your ComPoint system is configured with
either ISK1 Basic or ISK2 Advanced keypads. The way you use your system and the
way it gives you information depends on
which keypads you have.
With either keypad, pressing the Talk key
sounds a ping tone in the receiving zones
to announce your message. Releasing the
Talk key sounds a double ping.
If the system is already in use when you try
to send a page or start an intercom session, the Talk key blinks red for 7 seconds
to let you know the system is busy. Also, the
Advanced Keypad indicates Busy on its
LCD panel.
Paging
Paging lets you send
an announcement
throughout your
home or business
from any keypad.
To send a page, just
press and hold the
Talk key, then speak.
Release the key
when you’re done.
Your page will be heard in all zones except
those that are in Do Not Disturb mode. For
privacy and to avoid disturbing your neighbors, your page will not be heard at either
door station.
If a zone key is lit red on the Basic Keypad,
press the key to deselect that zone before
you press the Talk key to send a page.

USER SECTION
Operation
If a zone label appears on the Advanced
Keypad, use the Next or Previous key to
select Page before you press the Talk key.
All keypads indicate which zone is sending
a page, so you’ll know where it’s coming
from. The zone indication remains for 30
seconds after the Talk key is released to
simplify replying to the page.
The keypads in the receiving zones also
sound a double ping when the Talk key is
released. This lets you know the person
sending the page is done speaking and
you can reply to the page. Within 30 seconds, simply press and hold the Talk key
and speak. Your reply will be heard only in
the zone that sent the page.
If you wish to reply to the page after the
30-second limit, you can use the intercom
function described below or a return page
to send your reply.
Intercom
Unlike a system-wide page, an intercom
session occurs only between two zones.
To send an intercom, select a target zone
on a keypad. Press and hold the Talk key
and speak. Release the Talk key when
you’re done speaking.
Basic Keypad.
Press and release a zone
key to select the target zone. The key lights
up red to indicate the zone is selected.
If the selected target zone is in Do Not
Disturb mode, the zone key and DND key
blink rapidly for 7 seconds.
Advanced Keypad.
Select a target zone by
using the Previous or Next key to scroll
through the list of available zones until the
display shows the zone you want for the
intercom session.

If the selected zone is in Do Not Disturb
mode, the display alternately shows the
zone label and DND at 1-second intervals
and the DND key blinks rapidly for 7
seconds.
Receiving an intercom.
When the Talk key
is pressed on the sending keypad, the
receiving keypad indicates which zone is
sending the intercom. Also, both the sending and receiving keypads sound a single
ping to let you know you can reply hands
free within 7 seconds. After the 7 seconds,
the keypads sound a double ping to signal
the end of the hands-free reply period.
After the double ping, you can reply within
30 seconds by pressing and holding the
Talk key while you speak. After 30 seconds
you can no longer reply, but you can start
another intercom session to the zone that
sent the original message.
Door station call
A visitor can ring the doorbell and start a
door station call by simply pressing and
releasing the Call key.
When the Call key is pressed, all keypads
indicate the calling door station for 15 seconds. The D1 or D2 key on the Basic
Keypad blinks red and the display on the
Advanced Keypad shows Door1, Door2, or
an installer-assigned door label.
The keypads also sound a doorbell chime,
as long as they aren’t in Do Not Disturb
mode and a chime option is selected on the
hub. Additionally, the door station can ring
a traditional doorbell system as well.
