Setup and Installation
Installation of the Urmet 1172/55 Citofone Sign BIBUS Comfort should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure correct wiring and system compatibility. Incorrect installation may lead to malfunction or damage.

- Wiring Connections: Connect the system wires to the designated terminals on the back of the base unit.
