Technical Requirements
Dedicated* P.O.T.S. type phone company line or Analog PBX line
—
you must know if your phone is
on a PBX before you begin programming.
If connected to a PBX, your extension must provide:
o
at least 24 Volts at 20 mA off-hook (no current is drawn on-hook)
o
either a disconnect pulse (voltage drop at end of call) or 30-seconds of silence after hang-up (no
re-order or howler feature)
If connected to a P.O.T.S. line, there must be no special features, such as hook-flash, call-waiting,
auto-redial when busy or voicemail. If the telephone company has activated any such features or
your phone line is “feature ready",
contact them to have these features turned off.

If
you are
installing
multiple units with a limited number of lines, you should consider using either the Talkaphone EC-2 or EC-8
Consolidator. The EC-2 allows you to connect two Talkaphone phones to a single communication line, while the EC-8 allows you to connect
up to eight Talkaphone phones to a single communication line. Contact your distributor or call Talkaphone Customer Support for additional
information regarding these units.
