designated terminals. Simply insert button wire ends and screw in

The SC-8 has dedicated volume terminals, allowing you to give 
visitors the ability to increase or lower the volume.  Connect 2 
buttons to the designated terminal to do so. Simply insert button 
wire ends and screw in place with the provided screwdriver.
