To transmit weather alerts to each intercom, you can
connect one intercom to a weather radio’s alarm output
terminal. This lets you hear any weather alerts on any
intercom. Then, when a weather alert sounds, the intercom
where the weather radio is connected broadcasts the alert
to the other intercoms.
Connect the
WX INPUT
terminals on the top of the intercom to
your weather radio’s ALARM OUT terminals. Follow the
instructions in the owner’s manual for your weather radio so
it sounds a weather alarm using its alarm output terminals.

To remove wires you connected to your intercom’s
WX
INPUT
terminals, use a pointed object such as a
straightened paper clip to press the orange tabs under the
wires, then gently pull out the wires.

To listen to a connected audio source or weather radio, turn
on the connected audio source, then adjust
VOLUME
on
each intercom to a comfortable listening level.
When the input source signal stops, the intercom
automatically resumes normal intercom mode.
You cannot listen to a broadcast or Weatheradio while
calling or talking until you turn off or disconnect the input
signal.

Keep the intercoms dry; if they get wet, wipe them dry
immediately. Use and store the intercoms only in normal
temperature environments. Handle the intercoms carefully;
do not drop them. Keep the intercoms away from dust and
dirt, and wipe them with a damp cloth occasionally to keep
them looking new.

Connecting a Weather Radio
•
If you connect an intercom to
both a weather radio and an
audio source and both sources
are playing at the same time,
the intercom always sounds the
weather alert first.
•
Both the RadioShack Cat. No.
12-250 and 12-258
Weatheradio (not supplied)
have alarm output terminals you
can use to connect to the
intercoms.
Listening to an Audio Source
•
Each intercom can broadcast
from a connected audio source
only when the channel to which
it is set to is not being used to
transmit voice from one
intercom to another.
•
You can broadcast from only
one intercom at a time.
•
Adjusting VOLUME on the
intercoms does not change the
intercom’s input sensitivity.
•
The intercom’s built-in ALC
(automatic level control)
circuitry keeps the input signal
from overloading the
transmitter.

If you use the AUX
broadcasting feature and also
use the weather radio inputs,
you MUST connect the
Weatheradio alarm’s output to
the unit that is using the AUX
broadcasting feature. The
weather radio inputs must not
be connected to a unit that is
RECEIVING the broadcast.
•
Always connect the weather
radio’s alarm output to the
intercom you frequently use to
broadcast.
