allow you to record just the first few minutes of each phone call. Enough to
identify the called or calling party and the subject of the conversation. As
the entire conversation is not recorded, you can fit many more telephone
calls on each cassette. Over 300 calls per cassette! (using both sides of a
C-120 cassette using Extended Recording Mode and VCS)
Stand-alone Caller ID Mode: When not being utilized as a recorder,
use the P5090 as a stand alone Caller ID display. Stores up to 100 calls
in memory for later review.
Installation:
A clear plastic sheet covers the window in the Cassette Door (2). This
is for protection of the window during production and transport. You may
remove and discard this sheet if you wish.
Connection to power:
You may provide power to the Telephone Recorder with the use of AA
batteries or the included AC adapter. We recommend use of the adapter
whenever an AC outlet is convenient to ensure continuous operation
of the unit.
To install batteries: Turn the unit over. Remove the battery compartment
cover. Insert 4 AA (UM-3) batteries following the polarity diagram. Replace
the battery compartment cover. We recommend the use of Alkaline or
Lithium batteries for best performance. If batteries will not be used for an
extended period, remove them from the battery compartment to prevent
leakage. Please dispose of exhausted batteries correctly.
To connect AC adapter: Plug the DC power jack into the socket labeled
PWR (13) on the rear of the unit. Connect the AC adapter to a 110 VAC
wall outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet has continuous power and is not
turned off by a wall switch.
Connection to Telephone Line:
If you have an unused telephone outlet available to connect the Telephone
Recorder, you may skip the following paragraph.
Choose the telephone outlet in your home or office where you wish to
connect the Telephone Recorder. Disconnect the existing telephone cable
from the telephone outlet. Plug the supplied duplex adapter into the
telephone outlet. Re-connect the existing telephone cable to one of the two
outlets in the duplex adapter. Use the other outlet for the connection to the
Telephone Recorder. The unit will record calls for all telephones connected
to the same phone line throughout your home or office.
Connect the supplied telephone cable into the telephone outlet. Connect
purchase a Telephone Recorder for each line.
You may be able to connect the Telephone Recorder to your desktop
phone if your phone system is analog (not digital). This would involve
using the VCS mode or an alternative setting on the LINE VOLT switches
(15). Contact Technical Support for more information on this. Connection
to your desktop phone may be possible with an adapter provided
by the manufacturer of your telephone system. Contact the system’s
manufacturer or installer to determine if such an adapter is available. The
adapter is called a “standard single-line adapter”. Note that configurations
of these adapters may vary. Check with your supplier to ensure compat-
ibility. Contact Technical Support for more information on interfacing the
recorder.
I’m not seeing the telephone number of the calling party on the
LCD, why?
In order to receive the telephone number of the calling party, you must
have Caller ID service. Check with your local telephone company regarding
availablity and cost. If you already have the service, be aware that the
Caller ID information is sent through your telephone line between the first
and the second rings. If you answer the telephone before this information
is sent completely, the recorder will not be able to display the information.
Wait until the second ring begins before answering the telephone. Also,
not all incoming calls will arrive with Caller ID data. This is due to the local
and/or long distance telephone companies that are carrying the incoming
call and is beyond you and your telephone company’s control. Also Caller
ID information is not available when using VCS mode.
How do I see the name of the calling party on my LCD?
The name of the calling party will not display in the LCD when the call
arrives. The name is only available upon review of the Caller ID information.
See the section on Caller ID Review for more information.
When I play back the tape, the numbers displayed on the LCD are
missing digits, what’s wrong?
This can be due to a variety of factors. The telephone number and time/date
data is stored on the cassette as a series of tones. Every time you play
back the tape, these tones are decoded by the recorder for display. If
the tones are distorted, the recorder will not be able to display the data
properly. Distortion can be caused by noise on the telephone line, a
poor quality cassette tape, dirty tape heads (see section on tape head
maintenance), or poor connections to the telephone line. To correct the
