Realistic 43-209B is an intercom system designed for use in homes and offices. It allows for easy communication between two or more locations without the need for wires. The system is simple to set up and use, and it offers a number of features that make it a convenient and effective way to stay connected.

One of the key features of the Realistic 43-209B is its ability to expand. You can start with just two stations and add more as needed, up to a maximum of four. This makes it a great option for growing families or businesses.

Another great feature of the Realistic 43-209B is its hands-free operation. The Lock button allows you to keep the talk button engaged, so you can speak without having to hold the button down. This is ideal for situations where you need to talk for an extended period of time, such as when you are babysitting or dictating.

Just plug the two stations into AC outlets in your house or office and
you're in business! The messages are transmitted right through the
house wiring.
Another feature of Plug'n Talk is expandability. You can always add
extra pairs of stations, and each station will be able to talk to all the
others.
Plug'n Talk uses all solid state circuitry, assuring you of reliable
operation, long life and low power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
These units can be located almost anywhere in a house, office or shop,
as long as there is an AC outlet conveniently available.
Determine the best location for the intercom units and plug each into
AC outlets (120 volts, 60 Hz [or 240 volts, 50 Hz where the sets are
so marked on the rear]).
Adjust VOLUME control to click "on" and set to about "3". To talk
press TALK bar and speak in a normal voice from arm's length (or less
if desired, but not less than 2" (5 cm) from the speaker/mic). At the
receiving station, adjust VOLUME as desired.
SPEAK NORMALLY:
To call a station, press and release CALL button; this produces a tone
in the other unit and thus signals a call is ready. When the other station
answers, press TALK and proceed with your message.
For long messages, press LOCK button down. This locks-in the Talk
function for hands-free operation. To listen, press TALK bar to release
the LOCK button.
The LOCK position is handy for use as a "baby sitter" or other monitor-
ing functions, or for long periods of dictation. Thus, you can set one
unit to LOCK and then listen from another unit.
OPERATIONAL NOTES
Additional intercom units can be added to the system if you want;
however, they must be of the same type (other types of wireless inter-
coms [like FM systems] will not work with this intercom system).
These intercoms can be installed anywhere in the house, office or shop,
as long as they are all connected to the same power line distribution
transformer. Practically all residential and many commercial locations
meet this requirement. Do not operate them too close together, or
feedback between units will cause squeal.
Units can be separated up to about 200 feet (60 m), as long as the AC
line is connected to the same side of the power distribution transformer.
Thus, they may operate between adjacent homes, assuming their power
comes from the same distribution transformer.
If communications is distorted, it may be you are talking too close to
the speaker/microphone. Speak in a normal voice 1-3 feet (30-90 cm)
from the intercom for best results.
