The MovieTimeS must be installed on the phone company side of your phone system. If
installed directly to an unsuitable extension line the phone system or the MovieTimeS may be
damaged. If you are not familiar with how your phone system is installed, or do not know
which lines go directly to your phone company please find a qualified person to perform the
installation.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Required Lines
The MovieTimeS does not require phones to be attached to the PHONE connectors for
operation. The MovieTimeS does require a working phone line to be attached to the
TELCO connector in order to seize control from the associated PHONE connector.
Line(s) to be Answered
The MovieTimeS can handle four telephone lines. The MovieTimeS can only answer the
line (or lines) that it is attached to, additional phone lines must bypass the MovieTimeS
and ring straight through to other instruments.
Hunt Groups
Hunt groups are a set of lines that all answer to the same number. If the first number in the
group is busy the next call rings in on the next line in the group. This service is arranged
through the phone company. If installing the MovieTimeS on lines arranged in a hunt
group, be sure to place the unit on the first four incoming lines. Be aware that the
MovieTimeS can only handle four calls simultaneously. If placed in a hunt group with
more lines than the four lines the MovieTimeS can handle, the additional calls bypass the
MovieTimeS and ring straight through to other telephones. You may install additional
MovieTimeS machines for each four lines in the hunt group.
Hook Flash Transfers
Some installations may use services such as CENTREX or CALL WAITING that rely on a
Hook Flash signal being sent to the Central Office. The MovieTimeS is not compatible
with these services and will interfere with the Hook Flash signal.
CPC
The MovieTimeS is designed to use the Calling Party Control signal sent from the Central
Office to sense when the caller has hung up the phone. Not all Central Offices support
CPC signaling. If the MovieTimeS does not receive the CPC signal it may take as long as
90 seconds after message play is complete to return to normal operation and calls also
ring through even if the calling party has hung up during the message or transfer.
