Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Dialer 27, which can be used as a hotline dialer, a toll restrictor, or both. The Dialer 27 plugs into a standard phone jack, and works for all the phones on the same phone line. Before you begin installing the dialer, you should read the section below.
How Dialer 27 Works
When Dialer 27 is used for a hotline application, it dials a phone number whenever something triggers the dialer. You can program the number dialed by the dialer, and the trigger that causes the dialer to dial. You can program the dialer from any tone phone connected to the same phone line as the dialer.
You can also use the dialer to restrict access to toll numbers.

2.Once the dialer is installed, program it as a hotline dialer, a toll restrictor, or both.
3.Use the dialer.

See if you can tell where the phone line comes into your premises, and locate the dialer at the nearest phone jack if possible. If you can't tell and you have an apartment, pick a jack toward the center of the building. If you can't tell and you have a home, pick a jack on or near the first floor if possible.
See the picture following. Plug the power cube into the power outlet, and plug its other end into the dialer power jack. The dialer's light will blink rapidly ON and OFF. If there's something plugged into the phone jack you've chosen, unplug it and plug it into the dialer phone jack 1 as shown.
