OPERATION
Basic Two-Way System

The basic two-way intercom system includes two stations each with a VOLUME 

control, a hands free or PTT mode select rocker switch, PTT indicator LED, and PTT 

button. The ICA700 hands free intercom can transmit and receive from all stations. 

The system automatically controls which station is in transmit mode.

Two  optional  configurations  will  not  have  the  mode  select  rocker  switch 

installed:

Intercoms that have the Push-To-Talk Only option must have the PTT button 

pressed to transmit.

Intercoms that have the Hands Free Only option are voice activated to transmit.

Basic Three or Four-Way System

The basic three or four-way system operation is the same as the basic two-way 

system. (More than four intercom boxes can be connected when using the ICA700.)

External Microphone (Option)

The external microphone option provides a separate hands free microphone that is 

mounted away from the station box. When the external microphone cable is connected 

the station box internal microphone is disabled. Make sure the mode select rocker switch 

is placed in the hands free position. The basic system check should be performed prior 

to connecting the external microphone.
