Transmission Range:
Transmission range refers to the distance a Silent Call Transmitter can communicate with the Sidekick II
Signature Series Receiver. Range is measured in an outdoor environment without obstructions from metal
objects or buildings. The range for the Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver is up to 2000 feet. The actual
range inside a building will vary depending on many factors outside of one’s control.
Cancelling An Incoming Alert
To cancel an alert, press and release the mode button once.
Programming the transmitters:
All Signature Series Transmitters come pre-programmed at the factory. You do NOT need this step unless
you need to change the address due to someone in your area that has Silent Call products and they are
interfering with your equipment OR if you want to use the Supervision Mode with your smoke detectors.
1. Make sure that all Silent Call transmitters in the area are turned off.
2. Perform the ALL ERASE function (see pg 9)
3. Select the transmitter you wish to program with the Sidekick II Signature Series
Receiver. It is important to program the Smoke Detector and Fire transmitters
first because of the supervision capability.
4. Located on the back of the transmitter case is a removable access panel. Remove
the access panel and take out the batteries.
5. Locate the switch on the transmitter circuit board that has 5 small dip switches.
6. Set the switches to any combination that you want. For Example: 1, 2 On 3, 4, 5
OFF. (Do not set them to all ON or all OFF as this can cause interference). This
gives your transmitter an “address”. Note that you MUST remove the batteries first or the switch set-
ting will not take effect.
7. Reinstall batteries and replace the access panel.
8. Make sure that the transmitter is near the Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver.
9. On the Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver, press and release the MODE pushbutton until the Yellow
LED lights up and “PPP” is displayed on the screen. This means you are now in program mode.
10. Press the test button on the transmitter so that it sends a signal to the Sidekick II Signature Series
Receiver. The unit will flash its strobe, turn on the appropriate LED and display Icon for the transmit-
ter that you used. Your transmitter is now programmed to work with your receiver.
