Patents Pending  
The Oracle  
(OFD) is designed for use as a Wireless Doorbell  
FrontDoor  
By switching dipswitch #4 UP (away from the circuit board), you can set the Indoor/Outdoor  
Intercom’s volume to be louder.  
and Intercom for residential, as well as commercial applications. It is  
designed to tolerate severe outdoor conditions of -40 to +85 C, as well as  
high humidity and condensation. Since this intercom system requires no  
connection to wall power, it is perfect for remote locations.  
5.2 ADJUSTING MICROPHONE SENSITIVITY  
To increase the Outdoor Intercom’s microphone sensitivity, switch dipswitch #3 UP (away  
from the circuit board).  
The Oracle  
(OFD) features an amazing 1000’ range, and  
FrontDoor  
allows multiple simultaneous conversations, using a 900 MHz secure  
digital radio link.  
6.0 ALTERNATE CHIMES FOR FRONTDOOR VS. BACKDOOR  
The FrontDoor can be set to ring the inside Intercom units with two alternate chime patterns,  
to identify which unit is signaling. Switch dipswitch #2 UP (away from the circuit board) to set  
a FrontDoor unit to the alternate chime tone.  
Compatible with the Oracle Portable Intercom (OPI) and Oracle Flush  
Mount Intercom (RIFM), your intercoms form an exclusive network, and  
respond only to other intercoms in your network (patent pending).  
When used with Oracle Telephone Interface Unit (OTIU), the Oracle  
FrontDoor (OFD) will ring your telephones and allow you to speak with the  
visitor. No wiring of any kind is required. Simply plug into any phone jack  
and receive your visitors on the phone. Features Caller ID and much  
more.  
7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTI  
Nothing Happens. The Intercom Does Not Function  
Make sure that the Intercom has fresh batteries in it. When you press the CALL  
button, you should hear a tone. If the units have power but do not communicate,  
they may need to form a network. Press the LEARN button on each unit that needs  
to form a network and they will beep in response. You may need to clear their  
memory and re-teach them (see How do I Clear the Intercom’s Memory, below).  
PARTS SUPPLIED WITH OFD SINGLE UNIT  
1 - Oracle FrontDoor Unit (OFD)  
2 – Black #8 X ¾ Assembly Screws  
4 – Silver #4 X ¾ Mounting Screws  
1 – Piece of 3M High Strength Mounting Tape  
The Intercom is Not Getting the Expected Transmission Range  
Trees, metal, electrical wiring or other electrical devices directly between units can  
limit the range, as can having it mounted on a tree, masonry, or metal surface.  
NOTE: STUCCO WALLS  
When used in a dwelling with stucco or cement walls, the RF range can be  
reduced greatly. Place the repeater close to the house to mitigate this problem.  
PARTS SUPPLIED WITH OFD/OTIU KIT  
All of the parts supplied with the OFD plus:  
1 - Oracle Telephone Interface Unit (OTIU)  
1 – Instructions for Installing the OTIU  
1 - Antenna

How do I Clear an Intercom's Memory  
(Only when used in passive mode. In active mode there is no need to erase this devices memory)  
PARTS SUPPLIED WITH OFD/OPI KIT  
All of the parts supplied with the OFD plus:  
1 – Oracle Portable Intercom (OPI)  
1 – Instructions for Installing the OPI  
1 – Set of 4 Bumper Feet  
Hold the LEARN button down for 20 seconds. A tone will indicate that the unit has  
cleared its memory and you can re-teach it to a new intercom. If an intercom  
signals, while the buttons are depressed, the procedure will have to be repeated.

either the included screws or the included double-sided high strength tape.  
A.  
MOUNTING THE OFD WITH SCREWS  
To mount the FrontDoor, use the included mounting template (see page 11) as a guide for  
screw placement. Tighten the top two screws halfway. Place the back of the Intercom on  
the two screws, slide the unit down and tighten. Put the other two screws in the bottom  
holes and tighten (see Figure 1).  
Do not assemble the front of the unit until it has been activated.  
Note:  
B. MOUNTING THE OFD WITH MOUNTING TAPE  
To mount the Intercom on a metal, glass, or other smooth surface where you wouldn’t want  
to use screws, use the double-sided mounting tape.  
For best results, clean both surfaces that the double-sided mounting tape will be in  
contact with, using the included alcohol wipe.  
Note:  
Peel the protective paper off of the mounting tape and firmly press it onto the back of the  
Intercom (see Figure 1). Press firmly on the back of the tape; to push out any trapped air  
bubbles. When ready to do so, peel the red protective paper from the mounting tape and  
firmly press the intercom on to the surface that you wish to mount it on.  
Do not assemble the front of the unit until it has been activated.  
Note:  
3.0  
ASSEMBLING THE INTERCOM  
Put the two halves of the Intercom body together. Place the two black screws in the  
top and bottom holes on the front of the Intercom and tighten. The Intercom is ready  
to use.  
Figure 1  
4.0  
USING THE INTERCOM  
To talk, hold down the “CALL” button. All intercom units in your network will receive  
the signal. When somebody responds by holding down the “CALL” button on a  
different intercom unit, a secure channel is created and other units will not hear the  
signal, making your conversation secure.
