(See illustrations in Appendix A)

or desktop mounted. When locating, be sure to leave
clearance room on the left side for connection and
adjustments.

tem to the 12 VDC power connection on the left side
of the unit and plug the power pack into a 110 VAC
outlet.

phone line from the telephone line terminating block

3.1 Digital Announcer Connection
The SMART CTR2000 operates in two separate
modes depending upon the specific type of digital
announcer attached. Control mode allows the
SMART CTR2000 to start and stop the digital
announcer for the purpose of providing the first
caller the convenience of hearing the message play
from the beginning, while additional callers enter the
message in play. Control mode requires a digital
announcer capable of external start/stop operation.
Free run mode allows the SMART CTR2000 to oper-
ate with any digital announcer. In free run mode, all
callers enter the message in play.
3.2 Audio Level Adjustment
To adjust the message audio level, record the mes-
sage into the digital announcer following the instruc-
tions for the announcer used. Connect an audio cable
from the audio output of the digital announcer to the
Audio In connector of the SMART CTR2000. Place a
call to the SMART CTR2000, while listening to the
announcement, adjust the audio out level from the
digital announcer. In compliance with FCC regula-
tions, the SMART CTR2000 limits amount of audio
signal level present to the telephone line.
