ZEPHYR XPORT USER’S GUIDE

Ideally, you should check an unknown line by connecting an ordinary analog telephone and attempting a call.

hHOT TIP! The Xport uses the center pins of the 6- position miniature modular jack - In parts of Europe we have seen the same type of jack using different pins. In this case, you will need an adaptor.

Powering Up

Time to turn on the XPORT!

•Connect the provided IEC power cable to the XPORT.

•Connect the other end of the IEC cable to your AC (mains) power outlet. The Zephyr Xport’s power input is universal, accepting anything from 100 to 240 Volt AC 50/60Hz.

•Flip the power switch, located just above the power cable connector, to the “on” position (push in the side labeled “1”).

•Your Zephyr XPORT will start up. After about 40 to 60 seconds, the front panel LCD display screen will be displayed:

Setting the Country

The XPORT can be used on analog lines from all over the world. To achieve optimal operation, you must tell it the country in which you are located. Follow these steps:

•Press the <NAV> button two times.

•Highlight the option COUNTRY by pressing the <6> key. The word "country" should appear with white text on a black background.

•Press the <SEL> button. Use the <5> & <6> keys to scroll through the list of countries. If your country is not listed, use "USA" or "CTR 21". Once your country is displayed press <SEL> to accept your selection or press <NAV> once to "escape" without making a change.
