Installation and operations manual
Sidekick Receiver with no strobe
Model SK09214-B
General
The Silent Call Sidekick TM receiver is a table top AC operated alerting device. It is used in conjunction
with any Silent Call transmitter such as the telephone, doorbell, smoke detector and/or sound monitor.
When the Sidekick receiver detects a signal from a Silent Call transmitter, it illuminates the corresponding
front panel LED and the optional vibrator when plugged into the output connector on the side of the unit.
The indication will continue for approximately 15 seconds after the transmission ceases.
Installation
Installing the Sidekick receiver consists of locating it within approximately 100 feet of all Silent Call
transmitters and plugging the power supply into a household AC outlet. For best operation, the Sidekick
receiver should not be placed closer than 10 feet to a personal computer. Some computers emit strong
signals on random frequencies and this can interfere with the operation of your Sidekick. For best range,
the Sidekick receiver should also not be placed on or near large metallic objects.
Operation
Each time it receives a signal from a Silent Call transmitter with a matching system code, the Sidekick
receiver will illuminate the corresponding LED and the optional vibrator for approximately 15 seconds
after the transmission ceases. Since the Smoke Sensor and Fire Alarm transmitters transmit as long as the
alarm condition is present, the Sidekick will remain in alarm as long as the smoke or fire is present. The
Sidekick receiver will work with any Silent Call transmitter. It has predefined indicator lights for Sound,
Phone, Door and Fire transmitters. In addition to activating the vibrator, each Silent Call transmitter will
cause the following front panel indication:
