Wireless Intercom Door Chime
Your RadioShack Wireless Intercom
Door Chime operates as a two-tone
doorbell and an intercom. The chime
is simple to install because it requires
no wiring. Your chime's two channel
switch and digital coding prevent other
transmitters or radio devices from
sounding the chime. To conserve
power, both the receiver and transmit-
ter automatically turn off 30 seconds
after you stop using them.
Indicators — light so you can easily
confirm the chime’s operation.

Mounting the Transmitter
Caution: If you do not plan to use the
door chime for a two week period, re-
move the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.
Mount the transmitter within 50 feet of
the receiver using the supplied mounting
hardware. Depending upon the mount-
ing surface material of your home (wood
siding, brick face, and so on), you might
onsult your local hardware
need to c
store for a different type of mounting
hardware.
Testing the Chime
Before permanently mounting the
chime, follow these steps to test the sys-
tem
Note: While the transmitter is water-
resistant, it is not waterproof. If you
are mounting the transmitter out-
doors, select a location that provides
some shielding from the elements.

CARE
To use your RadioShack Wireless Inter-
com Door Chime system for a long time:
4. Align the receiver's keyhole slots
with the screw heads and slide the
receiver down to secure it.
• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the system only in
normal temperature environments.
OPERATION
• Handle the system gently and care-
fully. Do not drop either component.
Your caller presses BELL on the door
transmitter to sound the receiver’s
chime.
• Keep the system away from dust
and dirt, and wipe the system with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Note: If the chime sounds when the
transmitter's button is not pressed,
change the channel settings on both the
receiver and transmitter.
Modifying or tampering with the sys-
tem’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
If your system is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
Hold down TALK on the receiver (the red
indicator lights) and speak in a normal
tone into the transmitter’s microphone
from about 2–3 inches away. When you
release TALK, the caller can reply by
holding down TALK on the transmitter.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
Notes:
Your chime system might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly. To determine whether
the system is causing the interference,
remove the transmitter’s battery or un-
plug the receiver from AC power. If the
interference goes away, the transmitter
or the receiver is causing the interfer-
ence. Try to eliminate the interference
by moving the TV or radio away from the
transmitter or contacting your local Ra-
dioShack store for help. If you cannot
eliminate the interference, the FCC re-
quires that you stop using the system.
• The receiver and transmitter auto-
matically turn off if no one presses a
button within about 30 seconds.
Pressing any button on either unit
turns on the power again.
• If the temperature approaches the
lower end of the intercom’s operat-
ing range (around 0°F), you might
notice some sound distortion. This is
not a malfunction.
• A wireless telephone operating at
49MHz can interfere with the sys-
tem.
