shock when the unit is subsequently used.
LDo not make any wiring connections when the power supply is turned on.
LNever install wiring during a lightning storm.
LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fi re or
electric shock.
LDo not install the main monitor station in the following places:
– Places where the main monitor station may be splashed with water or chemicals.
– Places where there is a high concentration of dust, or high humidity.
LWhen existing chime wires are used, it is possible that they contain AC voltage. Electric
shock or unit damage could result. Contact an authorized service center.
CAUTION
LThe power cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the power outlet is
installed near the product and is easily accessible.
LInstall the unit securely adhering to the instructions in this guide to prevent it from falling off
the wall. Avoid installing onto low-strength walls, such as gypsum board, ALC (autoclaved
lightweight concrete), concrete block, or veneer (less than 18 mm thick) walls.
Do not install the unit using a different method from the instructions in this guide.
LIf the wiring is outdoors, use a protection tube or a surge protector.

Note:
LThe measurements and angles are for reference purposes and may vary depending on the
environment.
LIf a strong light is shining on the door station, the visitor's face may not be distinguishable.
Do not place the door station in the following locations.
– Where most of the background is the sky.
– Where the background is a white wall, and direct sunlight will refl ect off it.
– Where direct sunlight will shine on the door station.
LDo not place the door station in the locations where echoing occurs, causing the unit to beep
frequently.
L Make sure the rear of the door station is not subject to water.
Standard installation position of the main monitor station
Place the main monitor station in a location that your eyes are the same height as the center of the
display.
If a position of installation for the main monitor station is specifi ed
Install the mounting bracket to one of the following positions.
Position of installation for the main monitor station
Note:
LThis unit is using an electric wave frequency of 2.4 GHz. Read "For best performance" in the
Operating Instructions.
LIn areas surrounded by a high electrical fi eld, disturbances may occur in the main monitor
station's image or sound.
LBe sure to install the main monitor station more than 5 m away from the door station.
LDo not place any objects within 20 cm of the main monitor station. This may cause
communication errors or malfunction.
LDo not install the main monitor station inside a wall.
LDo not install the main monitor station in places where it will be affected by extremely high-
frequency radio waves (near broadcasting antennas etc.). This may cause the display to fl icker
or an interrupting noise to occur.
If you change to the main monitor station from chime, bell or buzzer
Existing wires (e.g. chime, bell or buzzer) may connect to power supplies (AC 100 – 240 V or 24 V).
If you connect the main monitor station through such existing wires, electric shock or unit damage
may occur. Contact the dealer where you purchased.

To use an existing wire in your home
1 Be sure to turn off the power and confi rm that the wire type is CAT-3 (ø0.5) or 22 AWG
(ø0.65). If the wire type is not CAT-3 (ø0.5) or 22 AWG (ø0.65), change the wire to either of the
specifi ed wire types.

Be sure to perform the following to ensure proper operation:
LConnect to terminal D1/D2 on the main monitor station.
LAfter connecting to the main monitor station, change the setting of "LOBBY
CONNECTION" to "YES" using the main monitor station. (Refer to page 38 in the
Operating Instructions.)
* 3 For information about compatible PBXs, refer to page 4 in the Operating Instructions.
* 4 Connecting a door opener
LBefore connecting to a door opener, make sure that:
– S1/S2/S3/S4 terminal: Normally open/Actively short
– The door opener is less than 30 V AC (1 A), 24 V DC (1 A).
– S1/S2/S3/S4 terminal on the main monitor station is not the power supply to the door
opener. If the door opener needs a power supply device to connect to the main monitor
station, contact the dealer where you purchased the door opener.
L The door opener for the door station connected to terminal D1/D2 must be
connected to terminal S1/S2. The other door opener for the door station connected
to terminal D3/D4 must be connected to terminal S3/S4.
L You can connect up to 2 door openers to the main monitor station. If the main monitor
station is connected to a PBX, one of the 2 door openers can be connected to the PBX
and operated from the PBX extensions.
Note:
LWhen you move the main monitor station, make sure the PBX is disconnected.
LThe door opener wiring schematic diagram is only an example. Refer to the wiring
instructions provided with your door opener and PBX for details.
