This method is best used if more than one phone is connected to the telephone
line. This will record activity from any phone on that line, and cannot disrupt
telephone service to any phone.
NOTE
:
The VCR-2020 Console does not need to be near any of the phones
being recorded if the system is configured this way.

ON
position. Set switches 1 and 3 to the
OFF
position.
2) Connect a standard phone cable (RJ11) from a phone jack into the VCR-2020
Console at the jack labeled
LINE
(primary pair).
3) Test for proper record operation. Off hook-

NOTE
:
The off hook detector for the primary pair is polarity sensitive. With the
phone line connected, position 1 on the terminal block must be more positive
than position 2 on the terminal block. If it is not, then tip and ring must be
swapped prior to the RJ11 jack labeled
LINE
