system. These calls usually last for approximately 5
minutes.
The Communicator can only make outgoing calls. It
cannot receive calls. The Communicator is designed to
operate on standard telephone lines like those found in
most homes and supports tone dialing over an analog
line. The Communicator may work on other telephone
systems, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and
Voice over IP (VoIP), if those systems provide an
analog interface for connecting the Communicator. The
Communicator should not be connected to a digital
phone interface, such as those commonly used in
some businesses, hotels, and managed care facilities
(nursing homes, skilled care facilities, rehabilitation
centers) where telephones are typically provided by the
facility.
If you have other telephone equipment (including fax
machine, answering system or computer modem)
connected to the same phone line and the line is in
use, the Communicator will wait and attempt to place
a call later. If you have heavy phone line usage that
delays or prevents the Communicator from placing or
completing phone calls, it may be appropriate to install
an additional telephone line.
Your Communicator and a telephone can share the
same telephone wall jack; however, they can not
be used at the same time. The Communicator will
relinquish control of the telephone line shortly after you
pick up the phone, provided that the telephone line
meets the specifications stated on page 54.
