ˆInstallation

Installing your phone is easy, but it is impor- tant that you follow the instructions in the se- quence that they appear in this manual for the telephone to work properly.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

To take full advantage of many of the sys- tem’s features, you must have four telephone lines with separate phone numbers. Howev- er, you can choose to connect the system to only one, two, or three telephone lines.

You can connect the system to two-line mod- ular telephone line jacks, or you can connect it to single-line jacks. If you use single line jacks, you must also use an optional two-line coupler available at your local RadioShack store.

Notes:

Your system is for tone lines only. If your telephone service is pulse type, check with your telephone company about changing to tone service.

Your system connects directly to a mod- ular telephone line jack. If your tele- phone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update it yourself using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store, or have the tele- phone company update the wiring for you.

The line that connects the telephone jacks to the telephone company's wiring must be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise, you might experience interference (crosstalk) between telephone lines.

The USOC number of the two-line jack to be installed is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall plate jack). The USOC number of

the single-line jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate).

Before actually starting the connections, plan your system accordingly.

1.Identify the number of stations you need (maximum is 12).

2.Determine which outside lines connect to which stations (maximum 4 per sta- tion).

3.Decide which stations require a private line (see “Setting the Private Line” on Page 16).

SYSTEM COMMUNICATION

The system uses Line 1 to transmit informa- tion such as system and line use status, as well as up to two simultaneous intercom con- versations.

Lines 1 and 2 must be common to all sta- tions. Lines 3 and 4 can be common to all or some of the stations.

Note: If Line 1 is disconnected, you can still make and receive phone calls on the other lines, but the phones will not work as a sys- tem.

Square Configuration

When all lines are all common, the configura- tion is called square. Since all lines are com- mon, calls on any line can be transferred to any station.

Non-Square Configuration — Private Line Support

When all lines are not common, the configu- ration is called non-square. Depending on
