Simplify your life, feel more secure and open up a whole new world of

communications within your home with ELAN.

In 1989, ELAN was the first to turn a home's standard touch-tone

telephone into a convenient and intuitive way of communicating

throughout the house, providing indispensable in-home communications

from any room. Since then, features such as house-wide paging,

phone-to-phone intercom, door station communications and more have

become an everyday part of the lives of ELAN system owners.

Easy household communications and unique benefits.

• No more shouting – you’ll always be heard

• No more running – answer the door from any room

• No more wondering – know your visitors before you let them in

• And, a lot more peace and quiet

Quite Simply, A Better Way

You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Call the family to dinner. Announce that there is a caller holding.

Speak one-on-one with household members in other rooms. These are just

some of the ways ELAN can simplify your life and create an environment

of easy in-home communications.

The concept is surprisingly simple. Instead of walking up to an intercom

box or keypad mounted on your wall, just pick up the nearest telephone.

Corded or cordless, from the bedroom or the backyard, any phone in the

house is your means to instant communications.

More than music, video and automation, homeowners claim that ELAN

communications are the most-used feature of their home

entertainment system.

It’s as easy as picking up a phone.

• Save your energy – and your voice

• Use it every day

• Easy enough for the entire family to use

Simplify Your Life

Convenient in-home communications.

With an ELAN Communications Controller there’s no need to get out

of bed if you happen to leave the garage door open. Just reach for the

phone and close it. Or turn the lights off downstairs. Or start your coffee

pot perking when you wake up. Your phone can now do all this and more.

One-Touch Features

Already simple and intuitive, all the ELAN communication and control

features can be reduced to a single button press when programmed into

your phone's speed dial numbers.

Visitor Viewing Anywhere

ELAN's COM2 Communication Controller and Door Stations were

designed to integrate seamlessly with ELAN Multi-Room A/V systems,

making it simple to have visitors automatically “pop up” on any ELAN

VIA! Touch Panel or television in your home whenever the doorbell rings.
