TRANSMISSION RANGE:

Transmission range refers to the distance a Silent Call Transmitter can communicate with the Sidekick II Leg-

acy Series Receiver. Range is measured in an outdoor environment without obstructions from metal objects

or buildings. The line of sight range for the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver is up to 500 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.

ALL ERASE:

Provisions are made to erase all programmed transmitter addresses. The only time you would need to use

the ALL ERASE feature is if you are receiving signals from another Silent Call System in your area. You

would then do the ALL ERASE feature on your receiver and then re-program your transmitters to a different

address.

The ALL ERASE function is performed as follows:

• Turn off the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver by turning the power switch to the OFF position. Turn

back-up battery to OFF position. An indication of back-up power being on would be that the amber light

in the strobe lens is on.

• Press and hold the MINUTES button DO NOT RELEASE THE BUTTON.

• Turn the power back ON while holding the MINUTES button in.

• Once power is on, release the MINUTES button after a few seconds.

• The all erase function is complete and the unit will now need to be re-programmed with its transmitters.

11:59AM will be displayed for time.

PROGRAMMING SILENT CALL TRANSMITTERS:

All Legacy Series Smoke detectors and consolidated transmitters are set to “Factory Code” (C-Code) when

shipped from factory.

NOTE: 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. Make sure that all Silent Call transmit-

ters in the area are turned off.

• Select the transmitter you wish to program with the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver.

• Located on the back of the transmitter case is a removable access panel. Remove the access panel and

take out the batteries.

• Locate the switch on the transmitter circuit board that has 5 small dip switches.

• You have up to 30 different codes to choose from. (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 or the switch setting will not take effect.

• FACTORY CODE (C- Code) is Dip switch conﬁguration as follows: 1, 2, 3 are OFF and switches 4 and 5

are ON.

• Reinstall batteries and replace the access panel.

PROGRAMMING SK09214-2 RECEIVERS:

• Make sure that the transmitter to be programmed is near the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver.

• Perform All Erase to ensure SK09214-2 receiver is cleared. Reference All Erase Section.

• On the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver, press and release the MODE button until the Yellow LED lights

up and “PPP” is displayed on the LCD screen. This means you are now in program mode. May require

cycling mode button a few times after an All Erase.

• Press the test button on the transmitter so that it sends a signal to the Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver.

The unit will ﬂash its strobe, turn on the appropriate LED and display Icon for the transmitter that you

used. Your transmitter is now programmed to work with your receiver.

• Repeat the above steps ONLY if your other transmitters are set to a DIFFERENT address setting than the

transmitter you just programmed.

BATTERY BACK-UP REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Silent Call Battery Part Number (BU-10).

Your Sidekick II Legacy Series Receiver comes with the battery pre-installed at the factory. The back-up

battery is a UNITECH 12VDC 1500maH Ni-MH back-up battery. Replacement batteries can be ordered online

at www.SilentCall.com or by calling 800-572-5227. The Sidekick II Legacy Series receiver Model #BU-10 has

been tested to provide back-up for 24 hours in Stand By mode and 15 minutes in full operational mode, (with

both the strobe and vibrator operating). The battery back-up is automatically being charged when the Side-

kick II SK09214-2 receiver’s power supply is plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet and back up switch

is selected to on. Switch is located on back of unit at lower right hand corner of battery compartment. A small

tool may be needed to select the switch.

In the event that you need to re-install or replace the battery pack, follow the instructions below.

• Turn SK09214-2 OFF and disconnect from AC power adapter.

• Select battery back-up switch to OFF.

• Remove battery access cover screw and cover.

• Remove Battery by gently disconnecting plug on SK09214-2 main board located in battery compartment.

• Gently connect new battery to two pin jack on SK09214-2 main board located in battery compartment.

Inspect connector is correctly seated and secure.

• Place battery in battery compartment and route wires alongside battery. Note: Battery cover will pinch

wires if not properly installed.

• Replace Battery access cover and screw. Place Battery back-up switch to ON.

• Verify Amber Light is on and LCD Display is lit.

• Check unit for proper operation.

• Reconnect AC power adapter and turn power ON/OFF switch to ON.

• Verify Amber light extinguishes when AC power is restored.

The amber LED is a visual warning that the SK09214-2 has lost Power from the supplied AC power adapter.

Normal operation of unit would be with amber LED extinguished.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BATTERY BACK-UP FEATURE BE TURNED “ON” FOR PROPER OPERATION.

The BATTERY ICON will display itself on the LCD display screen once the battery back-up level has reached

2/3 of its discharge. However, the BATTERY ICON will not be displayed until this condition is reached. This

means the battery has a 2/3 to full charge.
