Installation and operations manual

Model SK09214

Installing the Sidekick receiver consists of locating it within approximately 100 feet of all Silent Call transmitters and plugging the power supply into a household AC outlet.

Each Silent Call device contains a five position "code" switch that defines the address of the device. Each receiver and each transmitter must be set to the same code. All Silent Call devices leave the factory set to a default code of 1=off, 2=off, 3=off, 4=on, 5=on. The ON direction is marked on the switch with an arrow. Ordinarily, this code will not need to be changed unless your system is within 100-200 feet of another Silent Call system. In that case, simply set all receivers and transmitters to a different code.

For best operation, the Sidekick receiver should not be placed closer than 10 feet from a personal computer. Some computers emit strong signals on random frequencies and this can interfere with the operation of your Sidekick. The Sidekick receiver should also not be placed on or near large metallic objects.

Each time it receives a signal from a Silent Call transmitter with a matching code, the Sidekick receiver will illuminate the associated LED and activate the strobe and/or vibrator for approximately 15 seconds. Since the Smoke Sensor and Fire Alarm transmitters transmit as long as the alarm condition is present, the Sidekick will remain in alarm as long as the smoke or fire is present.

Your Sidekick Receiver is warrented to be free of defects in material and workmanship for five years from the date of initial purchase (one year for the strobe and/or vibrator). During that time, the unit will be repaired or replaced free of charge when shipped prepaid to Silent Call Communications. To obtain warranty service, contact Silent Call to obtain a return materials authorization. This warranty is void if the defect is caused by customer abuse or neglect.
