'Advanced' doorbell system

manufacturer: unknown (?)

You have to enter the house number and press the bell button to ring someone's doorbell (picture 1)...so far...so good...(there's even instructions on the display).Only the house numbers are not just numbers....they have additional letters....how to enter a letter? That is described on the window beneath the doorbell system (in semi TRANSPARENT writing!)....you will never notice....Ok, if you have to visit number 6B you will have to press 6 and 2 and the bell button...B being the second letter in the alphabet....sounds 'reasonable' (hmmmmm), but what if you want to visit number 6????You have to press 6 (which makes sense) AND 0 (and the bell button).....where's the sense???

  • wrote: 2007-10-23 21:42:00 Goed punt. Misschien de kosten?

  • wrote: 2007-10-24 14:28:00 @ MarC: what if there are 300 appartments?

  • wrote: 2007-10-24 19:47:00 This is mental! What is the advantage over 1 button for each appartment.....<br /> <br /> en waarom kan ik gvd geen vraagteken invoeren

  • wrote: 2007-10-25 23:20:00 Its a good design better then searching the correct number between the 100 button on a big flat.
