Set up the Master Station and the Sub-Station in the desired locations. Run a length of Talk-A-Phone
#6303 (3-conductor shielded) cable between the Master and the Sub-Station. Connect wire of
corresponding color to same terminal number on both Master and Sub-Station.
Underneath the Master and Sub-Station is a cable clamp. Remove screw on cable clamp and pass
interconnecting cable underneath clamp. Adjust cable clamp so that it holds cable securely, and replace
screw.
The Master Station is powered by a separate power supply (included), which connects to the “+” and “-“
terminals on the terminal strip on the bottom of the unit. The black wire on the power supply connects to
the “-“ (minus) terminal, and the black with white stripe wire connects to the “+” (plus) terminal. Should
your installation require grounding of the unit itself, you can connect a ground wire to the “G” terminal on
that terminal strip. The power supply cord should be routed through the strain relief on the bottom of the
chassis.
Care should be taken that no part of the cable is too near electric or telephone wiring, etc., nor should it
be shorted to any grounded conductors, radiators, pipes, beams, etc., and the bare wire at the various
terminals should not short from one terminal to the other nor the metal chassis. When staples are used to
hold the cable in place, use only insulated staples and do not drive them in so hard as to cause the wires
inside the cable to short to each other.
CONTROLS

increase volume.

to “talk”; release to “listen”.

OPERATION OF MASTER STATION
Plug in the power supply and turn the volume to maximum (rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go).
Press the Talk-Listen Control and talk. Release the Talk-Listen Control and listen. Adjust the Volume
Control until desired volume is obtained. If the system does not operate when DC current is used,
reverse the plug in the outlet to correct polarity. When AC current is used, reversing the plug in the outlet
may reduce hum. The system will operate with minimal hum under normal conditions.
OPERATION OF SUB-STATIONS
When System Is “Non-Private”: Sub-Station can answer the Master Station without any operation on
the part of the person at the Sub-Station, and at a distance from the Sub-Station.
When System Is “Private”: Sub-Station can talk to the Master only when depressing the Talk-Listen
Control on the Sub-Station (use K-S-100W Call Switch with K-HP-3(V) or K-C-20(V)). Therefore, the
Master Station cannot listen-in on the Sub-Station.
Close proximity of the Sub-Station to the Master Station may result in a howl (acoustical feedback) when
either one calls the other. Reduce the volume on the Master Station or keep them partitioned from each
other.
PRIVACY CRADLE PHONE: When Cradle Phone is at rest, the station operates the same as model
without a Cradle Phone. Removing Cradle Phone from its rest automatically disconnects the loud
speaker and directs incoming and outgoing voice only through Cradle Phone. ON MASTERS, push
Master’s talk-listen control to “talk” and release to “listen” with the Cradle Phone in use. ON SUBSTATIONS, note the additional push button control located in the center of the Cradle Phone. When the
Sub-Station is “non-private”, depress push button control to “talk”, release to “listen” during conversation.
When Sub-Station is “private”, or when Sub-Station originates a call to the Master, operate both the push
button control on the Cradle Phone and the Talk-Listen Control on the Sub-Station, pressing to “talk”,
releasing to “listen”.
A few minutes spent in practice operation will enable you to become familiar with the system’s use. The
system should provide years of satisfactory performance. Should you have any questions concerning the
operation and performance of this system (even those questions which might be peculiar to local
electrical and environmental conditions) we would welcome your inquires; as we may have special
information and suggestions for you.
TO REMOVE CHASSIS- Remove two knobs on front of Master Station (one knob on front of Sub-Station)
and four screws on the bottom of unit that are adjacent to end panels (2 screws per side). On Model with
Cradle Phone, also remove the cradle rest assembly. Lift out chassis.
