The Voice Extender can be powered by either AC power or battery.
AC Power: A DC 9V 1A SPS power adapter is provided for AC power connection.
When AC power is disconnected, the Red LED will turn on/off every 3 seconds to indicate AC fault. DECT will be turned off to save battery power.
After AC power is restored, the Red LED will turn off to indicate AC fault restore. DECT will be turned on again and reconnected to the Control Panel.
Battery: When AC power is disconnected, VRCP-DECT will switch to using rechargeable battery pack inside.
When battery voltage is low, VRCP-DECT will send a low battery signal to the Control Panel to notify the situation.
Low battery condition will be restored 12 hours after AC Power is supplied to VRCP-DECT. VRCP-DECT will also send a Low Battery Restore signal to the Control Panel.
If the battery switch is set as OFF, the battery will not be charged when AC power is connected and nor will it serve as a backup power source when AC power is missing. You need to switch the battery to ON for it to be charged when AC power is connected and serve as a backup power source when AC power is missing.
After installation, the VRCP-DECT will automatically transmit Supervisory signal to the Control Panel every 24 hours.
The voice recognition function has three sensitivity levels: high, medium, low. When sensitivity level is set to high, VRCP-DECT will most easily detect keyword/command and trigger alarm.
Please use a sharp tool to adjust the DIP Switch positions to set sensitivity level.

Step 1. Open Panel webpage and start with learning mode. Please refer to the Control Panel manual for details.
Step 2. Press and hold VRCP-DECT’s learning button for 3 seconds until you hear a long beep and release the button. VRCP-DECT will enter learning mode for 30 seconds. The Green LED will be ON during learning mode.
Step 3. When the Control Panel receives the signal from VRCP-DECT, it will display the information accordingly. If the device you wish to learn into already exists in the system, the device information will be displayed in the Learned Device section. If not, the device information will be displayed in the Detected Device section.
Step 4.VRCP-DECT will emit two beeps to indicate successful learning upon receiving acknowledgement from the Control Panel.
Step 5. Click “Add” on webpage to include selected device into panel.
<NOTE>
If VRCP-DECT does not receive acknowledgement from the Control Panel during the 30-second learning mode, it will emit one low-tone beep to indicate that learning has failed and exit learning mode. The Green LED will turn off, and the Red LED will turn on. Please perform the learning steps again.
When you press the ALARM button or speak the specific vocal command, an emergency report will be sent and a Two-Way communication will be established according to the duration set in your Control Panel. The Green LED will light up during the communication.
Trigger words could be “SARA Alarm (German)”, “SARA Help (English)”, or “Help Me (English)”, depending on firmware version. "SARA Alarm (German)”should be spoken twice within 5 seconds to trigger alarm, while “SARA Help (English)” or “Help Me (English)” only needs to be spoken once to activate alarm.

To ensure voice recognition accuracy, please avoid installing VRCP-DECT in a large or noisy room.
The ideal environment for voice recognition is silence or partial silence. If you call out the vocal command with normal voice, please speak within 2 meters of VRCP-DECT to ensure alarm trigger.
The voice recognition function has three sensitivity levels. You may test with them and select the level that best suits your mounting location.
When an alarm is triggered by a device learned in the Control Panel, and “808RV” is selected for Two-Way On function on that Device webpage, a Two-Way communication will be automatically started with VRCP-DECT without any button press.
<NOTE>
This function of automatically picking up call and opening two-way communication is only available when AC power is connected to VRCP-DECT.
If AC power is disconnected from VRCP-DECT, DECT will be turned off, VRCP-DECT will not be able to pick up call, and two-way communication will be started with GX instead.
When there is an incoming call, pressing the ALARM button on VRCP-DECT will pick up the call.
After the VRCP-DECT is successfully learned-in, and you have conducted Walk Test to confirm the device is within signal range of the Control Panel, also you are satisfied that the selected sensitivity level works in the chosen location, you can proceed with installation.
