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.
Continue in the same manner, Slave jack of one KID to the Master Jack of the Next KID
