INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE PHONE DOES NOT HAVE MF SIGNALLING
When using the BT8 with phones that do not have MF signalling the following steps have to be taken:
SW2 must be selected to ‘ON’.
SW3 must be set for either ‘Live’ or ‘Recorded’ messages to be broadcast.
Using SW3 select as follows :-
OFF
Live
messages
broadcast.
ON
Recorded
messages
broadcast.
To Make A “Live” Broadcast (SW3 set to ‘OFF’)
1.
Caller dials the designated extension number.
2.
Caller will hear normal ringing. After 2 rings the BT8 is ready for the message to be broadcast.
It is unnecessary to press any numbers on the keypad.
N.B. Care must be taken if the amplifier has a pre-announcement chime. The system does not have
chime acknowledge or have a speak now tone indicator. Therefore you must wait for 3 seconds to
allow the chime to finish before making your announcement. This will avoid talking over the chime.
3.
On completion of the message wait 2 seconds and replace the handset, to avoid any unwanted
noises in the speakers.
To Record a message for Broadcast (SW3 set to ‘ON’)
1.
Caller dials the designated extension number.
2.
Caller will hear normal ringing. After 2 rings the BT8 is ready for the message. If the amplifier
is busy the normal busy tone is heard.
3. Caller
speaks.
4.
Caller replaces the handset.
The message will be broadcast through the PA System.
BASIC FAULT FINDING
1
Problem: If user makes a mistake during recording they replace the receiver and the engaged
tone is heard through the system for 55 seconds.
Answer: Change the engaged tone to continuous. The BT8 recognises an intermittent engaged
tone as a voice and holds up. An alternative is to arrange for an interruption in the line current.
2
Problem: User does not like the 2 second delay before being able to speak.
Answer: Connect BT8 on to the paging port of the telephone switch.
3
Problem: User makes a recording but when playing it back it only plays for two seconds.
Answer: Remove the ‘busy’ – the amplifier is ‘busying out’ the BT8.
4
Problem: Some feature phones hold up the BT8 preventing it from releasing.
Answer: Arrange for the telephone switch to give a ‘COD’ (Clear On Disconnect). This will
release the BT8
5
Problem: The BT8 does not acknowledge when connected to a European / International telephone
system or some ISDN digital adapters.
Answer: Move LK6 to 2W to link the Ring and Line inputs and enable the ring detector to operate.
