Preliminary
wired telephone so that incoming calls will not ring it. During national,
regional, or local emergency situations involving severe weather or other
emergency situations, you should turn the ringer back on so that
emergency calls can get through even when the power is out.
Warning:
You should not attempt to use your landline with both
Tel-Lynx
and
the parallel wired telephone at the same time. This can cause
Tel-Lynx
to not
behave as expected.
Following a power interruption,
Tel-Lynx’s
internal clock must be reset. If
Tel-Lynx
is attached to a PC running the
Tel-Lynx
service program or a Smart
Phone running the
TLC
app, the PC or Smart Phone will automatically reset
Tel-Lynx
s clock. Otherwise, the first call that comes in on the landline with caller
ID will reset the clock.
If you pick up the telephone before a call comes in, or if the PC/Smart Phone has
not reset the clock,
Tel-Lynx
will tell you that the power was interrupted and will
ask you to set the date and time. Since
Tel-Lynx
records the current day, month,
and year every day, you should only need to reset the time if the power
interruption did not span a day (i.e. you may enter
#
for the year, month, and
day). If the power interruption spans two or more days, the date will also need to
be corrected.
Remember that during a power failure,
Tel-Lynx
cannot be used to place or
answer calls, so you will need to provide a way to make emergency calls (see
911 Emergency Service
).
Surge Protection
It is recommended that you provide surge protection for
Tel-Lynx’s
A/C adapter
to help prevent damage that can be caused by lightning and other electrical
surges from outside your house.
Although
Tel-Lynx
has surge protection on its landline port, if you have home
phone service from your local telephone company, it is advisable to provide an
external surge protector on
Tel-Lynx
's landline connection as well.
Many power strips and most UPSes provide A/C line surge protection and some
UPSes provide telephone line surge protection as well.
Using Tel-Lynx with Telephones
Tel-Lynx
acts as a telephony firewall situated between your telephones and your
phone services
(
mobile phones
,
Skype
™ and/or
landline
).
Tel-Lynx
unifies and
standardizes your use of your phone services and prevents unwanted calls from
ringing your telephones.
Tel-Lynx
provides all its functions seamlessly, without
changing the basic way you use your telephones.
Tel-Lynx
has two basic modes of operation: Call mode and Menu mode.
