A
lthough there are many possible
installation configurations for your
Venture with Telephone Answering
Device (TAD), you can install the
phone/system yourself once you’ve
determined the following:
❶
the number of Venture phones to
be included in the system (up to 8);
❷
the number of lines you require for
each phone;
❸
the intended location of each
Venture phone (ensure that a
phone jack and power supply is
nearby); and
❹
phone line configuration.
Phone line
configuration
Whether you require extra lines to be
installed or are using existing lines,
you need to determine the
configuration of your telephone lines
and jacks. For example, are all three
lines available from a single phone
jack or does each line have its own
separate phone jack. Your local
telephone company can assist you
with this determination. You can also
review the illustrations on the
following pages.
The Installation Planning Worksheet
on the next page can assist you in
planning your Venture system
installation.
Single phone
You can install a single Venture TAD
phone using one, two or three
separate lines. Simply follow the
instructions and review the
illustrations on page 9, page 10 or
page 11 once you have determined
which set up is best suited to your
needs.
Multiple Phone System
If you are installing more then one
Venture phone, and want them to
communicate with each other,
line 1
MUST be the same telephone
number for all installed phones in
the system
. Although line 1 must be
common, lines 2 and 3 may be the
same, different, or some combination
on each set.
As well, each phone in your Venture
system
MUST
have a unique two-
digit phone ID and name assigned to
it. As you install each phone,
Venture’s display prompts you to
enter this information. See “Setting
up your phone” on page 13.
The following pages guide you
through the installation of your
Venture system. Please read each
section carefully.
It is important
that you install one phone at a time
and confirm the installation of
each set before moving on to the
next phone.
This ensures a quick and
easy set up of your Venture system.
Important...
Review the instructions and the
illustrations on page 9, page 10 and
page 11 to help you determine which
installation set up is best suited to
your needs.
