       5 

with two of the MTJ-S2 splitters (see image on right) to provide 
individual jacks for each input and four T-18 cable sets for 
connecting to phone lines.  
        If you wish to record from multiple line analog phones or 
digital telephone sets, instead of individual phone lines, the most 
popular way to connect is with a handset splitter or handset audio tap 
such as the Omnicron TSA-3LM, TSA-2A1, or TSA-SLM that are 
available from your 

Tele

Corder

 representative. Your sales 

representative can also assist you in selecting other cables or 
adapters to simplify installation for your application.  
        If it is not convenient or possible to install using standard modular jacks, identify the pair of wires for 
each line or audio source and connect in parallel to each individual input on the 

Tele

Corder

.  

        With bundled phone wiring, you must first identify the line pairs among the wiring cables and then 
connect

 

the

 

wires

 

from

 

the

 

Tele

Corder

 

inputs

 

to

 

these pairs.

Plug the supplied 5 volt power supply (photo at right) into a standard 110v 
AC outlet and connect its output cable to the 

Power +5vDC

 jack on the 

back of the 

Tele

Corder

. A blue LED on the front of the recorder will 

indicate that power is connected.  It can take up to 30 seconds to boot-up. 
There are LEDs on the front of the recorder that will indicate recorder 
activity, including one for each of the four channels.    

   

        
 

2.3   Installing Software and Connecting to a PC (Win-2000/XP/Vista/Win-7 32/64)

 

 

     If connecting a 

Tele

Corder

 to a PC that has a previous version of the 

Tele

Corder

 product, you have to 

remove the previous software and old .dll files. Go to 

PC Start Menu > Control Panel > Add or Remove 

Programs

Look for the 

.dll

 file name 

FTD2XXX

 and remove it. Then scroll down to 

Tele

Corder

 software 

and remove it. You are now ready to install the new software and drivers. 
     Install 

Tele

Corder

 software onto your PC from the CD included with your recorder prior to connecting 

the recorder to a USB port on the PC or to your network via the LAN connection. 
     See 

“Read-Me”

 notes on software CD for additional information and for instructions that will permit 

you to update older
