Plugging in the Power

The panel is pre-wired for power. Simply plug the transformer into an available standard outlet (110 VAC).

Important !

Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or part of a ground fault interrupt circuit (GFIC).

Powering up the System

Turn the Power switch on the back of the panel to On. The panel voice should announce “Hello, system X is OK.”

Note

After power up the system may announce “System Low Battery” and the Status light will flash. It may take several hours for the battery to fully change after it is initially plugged in.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume

The Volume button on the front of the panel controls the volume of announcements from the speaker and the volume during a 2-way talk session.

Adjust the built-in speaker volume using the Volume button on the front of the panel. Each time the Volume button is pressed it increases the speaker volume one level and announces the volume level.

Adjust the volume the same way during a 2-way talk session.
