READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLING!
Having a proper telephone line is important to
ensure a quick and trouble-free installation.
Please check off and record pertinent
information for future reference.
Record the phone number for the phone line. This is
the number that will be needed to call into the
K-Tech phone.
Phone line must be an analog Central Office
(CO)
,
Plain Old Telephone Service line
(POTS)
or Analog
Private Branch eXchange
(PBX)
. All special
features such as call waiting and call forwarding
should be disabled. K-Tech cannot guarantee
performance on proprietary PBX, Centrex, DSL or
other similarly configured lines.
Phone line must be a DTMF line with dial tone.
Phone line voltage between 24 - 51 volts.
Phone line amperage - 30 mA minimum.
No other equipment should be sharing the phone
line. (This is a safety code requirement in some
areas. Check your local code.) Example - Fax,
modem, etc.
The phone line should be equipped with a CPC or
wink signal in order for the phone to shut off when
the operator hangs up. Note: most PBX systems do
not provide this signal– program timer minutes.
Phone wire should be twisted shielded pair in the
traveling cable and other places where possible.
18 - 22 AWG size recommended. Shielding should
be grounded at one end only.
The line should be properly grounded and protected
by the phone company against voltage surges such
as lightning strikes. Extra protection may be
required in the machine room or if on a PBX system.

shut off manually by pressing
#
or by the built in
timer (Feature 4,
4, Default = 05 or 5 minutes)
HELPFUL HINTS
COP mount phones should have no gap between the
phone and the fixture.
To minimize AC and motor noise in the system,
always use shielded wire for the phone line.
Grounded at one end only.
PHONE NUMBER HINTS
Check to see if you need to dial the area code or 1
before the number.
On PBX systems you may have to put a 9 or 8 and a
pause (*) before the phone number. Also you may
need to set the timer to “02” or “03” for proper shutoff.
RING DOWN LINES
If the phone is on a ring down line, a number or
numbers must be programmed into location 1.
Start with “5” “5”. If that does not work try “*”
“*” (Pause, Pause)
