is installed in kitchen)
Family Room
Outside Doors
Patio/Deck
Master Bath (allows you to step out of the shower and easily answer the door)
Select speaker location with the following considerations:
•Choose location where open doors or furniture will not cover the speakers.
•Do not locate speaker in an outside wall, except for speakers intended for outdoor use. Insulation and temperature changes may adversely affect the speaker’s performance and life unless it has been designed for outdoor use.
•Do not locate speaker in a sauna. Extreme heat and moisture will adversely affect the speaker’s performance and life.
•Locate speaker a minimum of 18 inches from fluorescent light fixtures, light or fan dimmer controls and any other wiring (electrical power, security system, etc.) to minimize risk of system interference.
•To avoid audio feedback noise, locate intercom speaker at least 10 feet from another intercom speaker and keep intercom speakers from directly facing each other or from being mounted
within the same wall cavity. Never locate two intercom speakers in the same room.
•For optimum stereo separation, stereo music speakers should be located
6 to 10 feet apart. Ideally, you will also want to keep the speaker(s) 2 feet from any sidewall, ceiling or floor.
•Do not locate more than one speaker in a room except when installing the
