Intercom Set

CHOOSING A LOCATION

You can place each intercom on a flat surface such as a desk, shelf, or
table, mount them directly on the wall, or mount one in each location.
Select locations where each intercom is:

Near an AC outlet

Near a phone line jack

Out of the way of normal activities in the area

Note:  You cannot use your intercom set between extensions connected
       via a switchboard, or to a PBX or electronic key phone system.

Each intercom connects directly to a modular telephone line jack.  Your
telephone wiring must be either a single- or dual-line type.  If your
telephone wiring does not have modular jacks, you can:

Update the wiring yourself.  Radio Shack stores sell the jacks and
adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.

Have the telephone company update the wiring for you.  The telephone
company might ask you for the USOC number of the jacks to be installed.
This number is RJ11 for single-line installation or RJ14 for dual-line
installation.

Note:  The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

MOUNTING THE INTERCOMS

Once you select a location for each intercom, follow the appropriate
mounting instructions.

On a Desk or Table

1.  Thread the supplied AC adapter's cord through the strain relief slot
    on the back of the intercom.

2.  Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC7.5V jack on the back
    of the intercom.

    Note:  Use only the supplied AC adapter as your intercom's 7.5V DC 100
           mA power source.

3.  Unplug your telephone's modular cord from the modular phone line jack
    on the wall.

4.  Plug the intercom's attached modular cord into that modular phone line
    jack.
5.  Plug your telephone's modular cord into the modular jack on the back
    of the intercom.

6.  Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Directly on the Wall

You need two wood screws (not supplied) for this mounting method.  Make
sure the screw heads will fit in the mounting holes on the back of the
intercom.

1.  Mark the position of the screw holes 2 3/4-inches apart.

2.  In the marked locations, drill a hole slightly smaller than the wood
    screws.

    Caution:  Be careful not to drill into any objects behind the wall.

3.  Drive the screws into the wall, letting each head extend 1/8-inch from
    the wall.

4.  Thread the supplied AC adapter's cord through the strain relief slot
    on the back of the intercom.

5.  Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC7.5V jack on the back
    of the intercom.

    Note:  Use only the supplied AC adapter as your intercom's 7.5V DC 100
           mA power source.

6.  Unplug your telephone's modular cord from the modular phone line jack
    on the wall.

7.  Plug the intercom's attached modular cord into that modular phone line
    jack.

8.  Plug your telephone's modular cord into the modular jack on the back
    of the intercom.

9.  Align the holes under the intercom with the screw heads in the wall,
    then carefully push the intercom onto the screw heads and slide it
    down until it stops.

10.  Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
