XIII. NV-MI1 Mute Interface
The NV-MI1 Mute Interface is an additional accessory
that can be used to temporarily mute all zones whenev-
er the phone rings or the doorbell chimes. No external
power is needed for this purpose.
To mute the system when the doorbell chimes, simply
run a pair of doorbell wires from the chime terminals
to the connector on the MI1 labeled “DOORBELL A” or
“DOORBELL B” (or both). Then connect a pair of wires
from the “Mute Out” jack on the MIB-1 to the “Mute”
input on the back of the Simplese amplifier (Fig. 15).
To mute the system when the phone rings, simply con-
nect a standard four conductor telephone line cord (for
two phone lines) into the “Telco In” jack, and then con-
nect a pair of wires from the “Mute Out” jack on the
MIB-1 to the “Mute In” pins on the back of the
Simplese amplifier (Fig. 15).
The MI1 is not supplied with the Simplese package.

The MI1 will accept two phone lines and two doorbell sig-
nals, and combines them to one two-conductor connection
to the Simplese’s “Mute” input.
Up to two phone lines from the home’s telephone serv-
ice can be connected to the MI1 via typical four-con-
ductor phone line with an RJ11 connector. Two door-
bells can be connected to the MI1 from the doorbell
chimes using two-conductor wire.
