Where should the speaker be installed?

Speaker should be installed:

  1. Approximately 4-ft up from ground.
  2. Within 3-ft between speaker and the driver.

Note: If your menu board is more than 3-ft from the driver, do not mount speaker to menu board. Use a speaker post.

My speaker location requires longer wires. What to do?

For Kit 1 and Kit 2: Most customers found the included 60-ft Huafone-engineered wires are adequate. However, in case you need additional 30-ft or 60-ft Huafone-engineered extension wires, please visit www.huafone.com.

In the rare case that your speaker location requires longer than 120-ft wires, please contact Huafone Tech Support for more instructions.

For Kit 3: A 10-ft of Cat 5 cable is included for pre-installation system testing. Use your own Cat 5 cable that meets your length requirements, up to 250-ft, for your site.

I am replacing an old intercom. What do you recommend?

I cannot hear customers, and/or customers cannot hear me. Why?

Please check these possible installation errors, step by step:

Step 1 Error: Wrong port is used.
Solution: Ensure 3.5mm speaker wire is plugged into “OUT” port on the back of master station. (Not “MIC”, which is used for recording conversation with optional equipment.)
Step 2: Error: 3.5mm plugs are not plugged-in completely at master station and speaker.
Solution: Check all the plugs.
Step 3: Error: Extension wires are disconnected during wire installation through conduit.
Solution: Tape 3.5mm male end to female end before pulling wires through conduit. Prevent rain and excessive moisture.
Step 4: Error: Speaker is installed too far from customers, too low from ground.
Solution: Please see page 1 for proper speaker location.
Step 5: Error: Headset is not paired properly to master station.
Solution: Please refer to “Quick Start”. Pairing process is not complete until pairing confirmation announcement is heard over headset.
Step 6: Error: Volume Control on master station is turned off.
Solution: Turn the volume knob clockwise to max.
Step 7 Error: MIC1 Push Button on master station is turned off.
Solution: Ensure indicator light above MIC1 button is on.
Step 8: Error: Mute function on headset is accidentally selected.
Solution: Refer to “Quick Start”to unmute headset.
Step 9: Error: SmartSpeaker® privacy feature is activated.
Solution: SmartSpeaker® will automatically turn to mute mode 45 second after the previous customer leaves, until the built-in sensor detects the next customer. During testing, have a second person stand in front of speaker to unmute speaker.
