CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

The 5-channel Wireless Intercom Consoles provide a wireless audio
communication link between up to five Console stations and one
or two remote Wireless Doorbell Intercom units.

The intercom uses digital signals to control the stations called and
provide a unique “house code” that prevents other nearby intercoms
from accessing the system. Either of two radio frequencies can
be selected for the intercoms to further eliminate the chance of
interference from adjacent systems.

The Console features five station number pushbuttons for selecting
the party to call. The ALL CALL button can be used to call all
stations. Pressing the TALK button calls the selected station, then
controls the direction of the conversation. Each intercom user
presses their TALK button to activate the microphone during the
conversation.

The Doorbell works as Console station 4 or 5. Pressing the
Doorbell’s TALK button sounds a “ding-dong” (station 5), or “dong”
(station 4) at the Console, then the conversation begins by pressing
the units’ talk buttons.

For privacy, a MUTE switch on each Console can be set to prevent
Wireless Doorbell tones and ALL CALL messages from sounding
through that Console’s speaker.

The Console can be placed on a table or shelf, or mounted to a
wall with the screws provided. The antenna adjusts for table or
wall mounting. Power for the Console is provided by a plug-in
transformer.

The Doorbell attaches to a wall with the mounting plate provided.
Two 9-volt alkaline batteries power the Doorbell intercom.
