If you are using the unit in CMS mode for MERLIN, MERLIN
II, or MERLIN LEGEND, connect the DIN connector cable
from the CMS unit to the CMS port the rear panel of the
unit.
If you are using the unit in tip/ring line interface mode,
connect one end of the modular cord supplied to the Line
connector on the rear panel of the unit, and connect the
other end of the modular cord to an RJ11 jack providing
tip/ring from the host telephone system.
If you are using the unit with contact activated start
applications, connect one end of the modular cord supplied
with the unit to the Line connector on the rear panel of the
unit, and connect the other end of the modular cord to an
RJ25 jack providing tip/ring from the host telephone system.
Then, add the contact activation signal to the jack so that it
appears at the unit on pins 1 and 6.
Setting the Battery Option Switch
After the unit is powered up, move switch #1 to the “On” position
so the unit starts charging its internal battery, enabling the unit to
store recorded announcements and answer calls (if specified)
during a power failure. The Battery LED blinks slowly, signifying
that the internal battery is charging. This LED continues blinking
slowly for up to 18 hours, at which time the battery is fully charged.
After the battery is fully charged, the Battery LED stops blinking
and remains on.
