Jumper settings for stacking (Twin Mode):
In the upper right corner of the circuit board there are two positions for placing jumpers. If not stacking
(only one KID) or stacking two KIDs leave the jumpers off. The jumpers may be placed on one pin to be
saved for later use. When stacking 3 or more KIDs in SYNC mode jumpers should be placed in both
positions on the second and subsequent KIDs. The jumpers should be oriented side to side
(horizontally).
Stacking Ports:
Connect a standard four conductor phone cable (Sold separately) between the MASTER jacks of the
first two KIDs.
If additional KIDs are to be connected, connect a standard four conductor phone cable (sold
Separately) from the SLAVE Jack on the second KID to the Master Jack the next KID.
