Operation
Switching handset on and adjusting options:
•
Switch on
the handset by a long press (3 seconds) of the button 8 . The LCD screen
will show up. Press the same button again in case you want to switch off the unit.
•
In case the icon (L) appears and an alarm heard, the
battery
has run down and need to
be recharged by placing the unit into the charger stand. During charging, the segments inside
the icon (M) will flash in turn irrespective the unit is switched on or off. To protect battery,
if the unit is not being re-charged when the icon (L) shown up, it will be switched off
automatically after 5 minutes.
•
Select the preferred door chime
melody
using the button 14 .
•
Select the preferred
alert mode
using the button 15 . Depending on your selection, either
one of the icons (F) to (H) will be shown on the screen.
•
Adjust the
loudness
of door chime using buttons 12 13 . During conversation, the
sound volume heard through the earpiece 16 can also be adjusted using
b u t t o n s
12 13 . These two adjustments are independent from each other i.e you can have a low level
door chime but a loud earpiece sound.
•
Set the position of the
Backgate
ON-OFF switch 21 (yellow) to OFF position if only the frontgate
outdoor unit is installed or to ON position if both the frontgate and backgate (purchased optionally)
caller units are installed. Wrong setting may lead to false alarm of out of range alert.
Making / receiving calls
•
Make sure there is power supply to the caller unit (either by 8-12V AC or alkaline batteries). Now
press the
doorbell button
1 , a ringing tone will be heard and the doorbell indicator 2 starts
flashing. Until the handset answers the call, ringing tone will be heard periodically, reminding
the visitor to keep waiting. In case there is no answer after 40 seconds, the caller unit ends the
call by itself and the doorbell indicator 2 goes off. Press the doorbell button 1 to initiate
the call again.
•
All handsets
on the same channel and cloned with the same ID code will receive the doorbell
ring. The first handset to answer the call is the only handset that can communicate. The ringing
on the remaining handsets will terminate if one handset accepts a call.
•
Once the call is being
answered
, the doorbell indicator 2 will light up steady. Conversation
can now be conducted by speaking into the microphone 3 . To avoid feedback which may
create an echo heard at the side of handset, a hands-free function is incorporated which means
whenever the visitor speaks into the microphone 3 , the output from speaker 4 will be muted.
Therefore, it should be worth noted that once the visitor talk to you, try not to talk back at the
same time from the handset as he may not be able to hear what you say, speak only when the
visitor stops talking.
