In case an apartment station is replaced after all the wiring is done, turn the power switch off
and back on again on GF-BC. Then reprogram that apartment station only.
At the end of communication, hang up the handset on cradle. If a handset is off the hook, call
tone will still ring at two stations. But for approx. 45 sec. after called, the inside audio is
activated on that apartment station and heard at the entrance. Momentarily hang up handset,
and resume communication.
While an apartment station rings with a call from an entrance station, a call from the doorbell
button will not be heard.

Clean GF equipment with a soft cloth dampened with neutral household cleanser.
Never use any abrasive cleaner or cloth.
