For the Hearing Impaired
Recorded messages can be heard
from an intercom or Public Address
system by connecting the amplifier
to the LINE OUT terminals located in
the compartment under the Base
Station (See below).
Use the volume control of the
amplifier, NOT the “Volume” knob on
the SoundAlert Base Station.
To set the output duration
of each connection:
1. Move the slide switch to the
“RUN” position.
2. Press and hold the “PLAYBACK”
button for 2 seconds to activate
SETUP MODE.
3. In SETUP MODE, toggle
through the setting sequence for
each message button #1 - #4 to set
the output duration for each terminal
output connection. The three LED’s
will indicate the time duration
setting (see chart below).
4. Press the “PLAYBACK” button to
lock in each chosen setting and
return to operating mode.
5. Repeat steps 1,2,3 and 4 to set
time duration for each connection.
Note: To disarm the SoundAlert
System when the “CONTINUOUS”
setting is triggered, turn OFF the
Base Station with the “POWER”
switch. When “POWER” is turned

your Base Station. RIGHT is ON,
LEFT is OFF.
• The slide switch on the Base

More Sensor/Transmitters to
Activate Additional Messages).
The Sensor/Transmitter will
not operate SoundAlert

Activate Additional Messages).
VERY IMPORTANT: If the Base
Station “SET UP” LED does not
glow, the Sensor/Transmitter was
not programmed and the proce
dure will have to be repeated.
