Programming 

Now that you have either entered a new client, or selected an existing client from the client list, 

you are now ready to begin programming. 

 

 

 

Note: SMS string= *20# 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Step1: Check Reception 

 

Go to MORE>INFORMATION to reveal the screen shown. 

Press the reception check button. On Android the app will 

automatically send a SMS string (*20#) to the intercom.  

Due to Android and Apple security, users will be taken to 

their SMS screen to confirm the SMS before it will send.

 

The intercom should reply with a signal level between 1 & 31. 

1-12

Poor

13-20

Medium

21-31

Good

 

For good performance, signal level should be at least 13 or 

better on 3G or 4G and 14 or better on 2G. 

 

TIP:

 

If signal is lower than recommended, then take IMMEDIATE 

action. Change network if possible, or use an optional high gain 

antenna. Check power cable is within recommended 

specification. (Poor power cable can lower reception). 

SMS message sent to intercom. 

SMS reply to your phone. 

Step2: Set APN (for VOLTE / 4G voice calling) 

 

This feature may need to be set in order to make 4G voice calls. Check 

the APN of your provider and then enter it in the blue section below and 

send as SMS to the intercom 

9999

#

97

APNinfo

#

Pass code

Function code

APN info for network

 

 

 

Step3: Reboot the Intercom 

 

The intercom will need to be rebooted in order to log on to the network with the new APN which 

you have stored. If you send another reception check (*20#), you may find that if it was on 3G 

signal strength before, that it is now on 4G signal.
