1.0 out of 5 stars Out of Date "WIRELESS" description, February 4, 2004

This review is from: GE/Jasco TL97600 3 Channel Wireless Intercom (Electronics)

This product is caled a WIRELESS intercom. Today one would expect that such a device would work by means of radio frequency communication. Well that is not how it actually does work. In the small print you are told that it will only work if each unit is on the same electrical circuit. So it requires the house wiring to communicate between the units. This results in the units only working if they are in the same or posible adjacent rooms. In my house we have an electrical service panel with 36 circuits. This give us one chance out of 36 in being able to contact one unit from another that is randomly / remotely installed in our residence. This item should be withdrawn from sale as it is functionally useless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Good For Household use, May 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: GE/Jasco TL97600 3 Channel Wireless Intercom (Electronics)

I agree and wish I had read the review regarding the use of this product prior to purchasing it. I know of very few homes in my area that run on 1 (ONE) electrical circuit. I have a panel in my basement full of circuits, so this intercom is useless unless I use the two units side by side. Garbage is how I would classify this unit

No need to call a electrician. It's written on the box - will only work with receivers on the same ckt. Bought it and tried it all over the house. It would only work on the same floor with outlets on the same ckt. I could shout to those locations easier than using this.
