Setup Guide

Initial Setup

The Hosmart intercom system is designed for straightforward setup. No complex wiring or Wi-Fi configuration is required. Each unit can be powered in one of two ways:

1. Corded Electric: Connect the provided cable and adapter to the intercom unit and plug it into a standard wall outlet.
2. Battery Powered: For portable use, insert an 18650 battery (not included) into the designated battery compartment on the back of the unit.

Once powered, the units are ready for immediate use. No additional pairing steps are necessary for basic communication.

This diagram illustrates the two power options for the intercom: connecting it to a power adapter via USB-C or inserting an 18650 battery. It also shows the simple step of using the call and monitored functions.

Operating Instructions

Two-Way Communication

To initiate a conversation, simply press the 'Talk' button. The full-duplex design allows for real-time, hands-free communication, similar to a phone call. You do not need to hold the button down while speaking.

Monitoring Function

The 'Monitored' button allows you to listen in on another unit. This feature is useful for monitoring children or elderly family members in another room. Press the 'Monitored' button on your unit, and then select the channel of the unit you wish to monitor.

Group Communication

For broadcasting messages to multiple units simultaneously, use the 'Group' function. Press the 'Group' button, then speak your message. All units set to the same group channel will receive the broadcast.

Volume Adjustment

Adjust the speaker volume using the 'VOL-' and 'VOL+' buttons located on the unit's keypad. Press 'VOL-' to decrease volume and 'VOL+' to increase volume.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hosmart intercom system, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the units regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: If using batteries, ensure they are inserted correctly. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Hosmart intercom system, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet or that fresh batteries are correctly installed.
• No Sound/Poor Sound Quality: Check the volume levels on both units. Ensure units are within range and not obstructed by thick walls or large metal objects. Verify that both units are on the same channel.
• Interference: If you experience static or interference, try changing the channel. Keep units away from other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Units Not Communicating: Confirm both units are powered on and set to the same channel. Ensure they are within the effective communication range.
