READ ME FIRST

This manual is designed for two basic types of users: 1) those who are not involved in the setup or maintenance of the key- panel, but simply want to use it to communicate; and 2) those who will use the advanced features to modify the keypanel’s operation and key assignments. The second type of user may also be the maintenance person and/or system administrator for the intercom system.

The first type of user should skip to “Basic Intercom Operation” on page 11. If you will also be using the optional telephone interface (with KP-12 only) refer to the information in “Telephone Operation” on page 13. Additionally, a few of the items in “Using the Top-Level Menu” on page 15 may be of interest.

The second type of user should become familiar with “Power-Up and Initial Settings” on page 9, as well as the basic operation. The advanced features are arranged in a system of menus accessible using the control labeled “SELECT” on the front panel. The entire menu structure is summarized in Table 1 on page 26, with references to the page numbers where you can find detailed information. Use this list as your starting point to become familiar with the advanced features. Be sure to also read any general information supplied at the start of each menu section. At first, the menu system might seem complicated, but navigation through it is actually quite basic, and experience has shown that users catch onto it fairly quick. From any given level, just turn the SELECT control to find the item that you want, then quickly press and release (tap) the control to select that item. For many items, brief instructions are given as you navigate. From any level in the menus, you can double-tap the SELECT control to exit to the next higher level.
