Mounting the Master Panel
1. Refer to Figure 6. Use two (2) no. 6 x 3⁄8" screws to attach
mounting brackets to rough-in frame Using bottom set
holes, make sure brackets are flush to wall or rough-in
and screws are tight.
3. Refer to Figure 9. Attach master panel to rough-in frame by
placing keyhole slots in both mounting hinges over screw
heads in rough-in frame.
4. Refer to Figure 10. Slide master panel to the right, then
forward until panel is flush with the wall.
5. Align master panel with rough-in frame.
6. Refer to Figure 6. Attach support strap to rough-in by
attaching onto oblong hole in top of rough-in frame.
2. Refer to Figures 7 and 8. For rough-in frames which are
recessed into the wall opening, insert two (2) shoulder
screws (provided) into the front two holes in the rough-in

Connecting Antenna
1. Connect the AM/FM antenna (supplied with the IR-104
rough-in) to the 2-pin connector located in the upper right
corner of the main PC board.
In most locations, the antenna supplied with the rough-in
provides adequate AM reception. However, in rural or weak signal
areas a separate AM antenna may be required. Use the following
instructions for selecting and connecting a separate AM antenna.
1. Refer to Figure 11. Move the the auxiliary AM antenna
selector switch to the AM position.
2. Connect 50 feet of 22 GA. insulated wire (not supplied by
NuTone) to the screw terminal marked AUX AM ANTENNA.
3. Run the wire from the Master location to the attic. Fasten the
insulated wire at one end of the attic, stretch the wire to its full
length, and fasten at the opposite end. Fasten the insulated
wire at several locations between ends to prevent sagging.

B. Use the ▲ ▼ keys to locate a strong FM radio station.
Beginning with the master station, check each station in the
system for proper operation using the following procedure:
6. Adjust the master station's SYSTEM VOLUME control until
you have enough volume at the remote station that requires
the highest volume (i.e. a large living room, family room,
basement, etc.).
NOTE: The Master Station and all Remote Stations
(except the door speakers) are equipped with their own
volume controls. Although the Master Station SYSTEM
VOLUME sets the System's Volume level, you may adjust
an individual speaker's volume level as desired.
1. Adjust the station's Volume Control (Master Volume
on the master station) between maximum and minimum,
making sure the audio is completely muted in the minimum
position and no noise is created by the volume control
during adjustment.
7. Adjust the MASTER VOLUME control and all remote
stations' VOLUME controls to the volume level you
desire. Do not set the remote stations' volume controls

3. Release the INSIDE/PATIO key to hear the reply.
NOTE: To reply to an intercom call initiated at a remote
station, the Inside/Patio key must be pressed at the station
responding to the intercom call. If, however, an intercom
call is initiated at the master station, the Inside/Patio key
does not need to be pressed at the station responding to
the intercom call. Audio from the responding stations and
all stations in the system will be heard at the master station
when the INSIDE/PATIO key is released.
Setting Intercom Volume
1. Initiate Intercom call from the master station by pressing the
INSIDE PATIO key.
2. Speak with a normal voice about 2-3 feet from the station
speaker.
3. Adjust the INTERCOM VOLUME control until the initiating
station’s audio is clearly heard at all stations in the system.
NOTE: The volume control at all stations should be set
between 1⁄2 to maximum volume for proper intercom
operation.
4. Press the END CALL key. Intercom communication will end,
and radio audio will return to all stations in the system.
5. Press the DOOR TALK key. Radio audio will mute, and audio
from the station will be heard at the door speaker(s) and all
stations in the system.
4. Repeat the above procedure at several locations until an
acceptable intercom audio level is achieved at all stations.

Two Year Limited Warranty
WARRANTY OWNER: NuTone warrants to the original consumer purchaser of its products that such products will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period
of two (2) years from the date of original purchase. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
During this two year period, NuTone will, at its option, repair or replace, without charge, any product or part which is found to be defective under normal use and service.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO FLUORESCENT LAMP STARTERS OR TUBES, FILTERS, DUCT, ROOF CAPS, WALL CAPS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES
FOR DUCTING. This warranty does not cover (a) normal maintenance and service or (b) any products or parts which have been subject to misuse, negligence, accident,
improper maintenance or repair (other than by NuTone), faulty installation or installation contrary to recommended installation instructions.
The duration of any implied warranty is limited to the one year period as specified for the express warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
NUTONE’S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT NUTONE’S OPTION, SHALL BE THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS
WARRANTY. NUTONE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
PRODUCT USE OR PERFORMANCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties.
