Installation and operations manual
Sidekick Receiver
Model # SK09214
Revision 5
General
The Silent Call Sidekick TM receiver is a table top AC operated alerting device. It is used in conjunction with any Silent Call 318 MHz
transmitter. The transmitters available are: telephone, doorbell, smoke detector, fire alarm transmitter, sound monitor, carbon
monoxide detection, door/window access, pressure sensitive mat and weather alert.
Installation
Installing the Sidekick receiver consists of locating it within approximately 100 feet of all Silent Call 318 MHz 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
When the Sidekick receiver detects a signal from a Silent Call 318 MHz transmitter with a matching system code, it illuminates the
corresponding front panel LED and activates its built in strobe (and 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. Since the Smoke Detector
and Fire Alarm transmitters continue to transmit as long as the alarm condition is present, the Sidekick will remain in alarm as long as
the smoke or fire is present. It has predefined indicator lights for Sound, Phone, Door and Fire transmitters. In addition to activating
the strobe (and optional vibrator), each Silent Call transmitter will cause the following front panel indication:
