Connecting to a Telephone Line

Check first that you have an analogue phone line. Virtually all phone lines in the UK can be used. The line is OK if…

It is a normal residential line.

The telephone line is connected to your facsimile machine.

You hear a change in tone pitch when buttons are pressed.

There is a label or inscription on your phone giving the “BABT Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)”.

The meter cannot be used with digital ISDN lines or if your line uses pulse (LD) dialling. In these cases, call Pitney Bowes for advice.

Connect the phone cord to the telephone wall socket. You may need a two way adapter (splitter) if you are using the same socket as your fax machine or telephone handset.

The meter can be refilled either in place on the mailing base (preferred), or if the phone socket is too far from the system, removed from the base.

When fitted onto the Mailing Base…
