Background:
The Telephone Recorder is the result of our years of experience with
manufacturing telephone recording devices. We have attempted to bring to
the market the most sophisticated yet easy-to-use telephone recorder ever
produced. The unit preserves the basic functions of recording and listening
back to your telephone calls while adding exciting features like:
Time and Date Stamp: Using an internal clock, the P5090 will note the
time and date of each recorded telephone call. This data is stored on the
cassette and is displayed during tape playback. As the data is stored on
cassettes, the capacity is virtually unlimited.
Caller ID: With the use of Caller ID (Calling Line Identification (CLID)
services or CLASS® services) available from your local telephone
company, you can see the telephone number of the calling party. This
data is also stored on the cassette and will be displayed during playback.
Also, the Telephone Recorder can display the name of the calling party
(where available).
Inbound/Outbound Recording: You may select whether the P5090
records only inbound, outbound or both types of telephone calls.
Extended Recording Mode: Allows you more recording time per
cassette!
Flexible Interfacing: The P5090 is ready for connection to a variety
of single-line, multi-line, KSU and PBX applications using Line Voltage
Selection, Handset Adapter, and Voice Control System (VCS) features.
Flexible Recording Modes: Our new optional Timer Recording Modes
problem, ensure that you use high quality cassettes and maintain the tape
heads. If you suspect noise on the telephone line, make sure that your own
telephones or accessories are not causing the problem before contacting
your local telephone company.
What kind of tapes do I need to use?
Use high-quality name-brand “Normal Formulation” cassettes. The recorder
is not designed for use with Chrome or Metal formulation tapes. You may
use any length of tape up to C-120 (120 minutes). Be aware the C-120
cassettes have a thinner tape and are more subject to breakage that shorter
length cassettes. Use care when handling C-120 cassettes.
What happens when the tape ends?
The recorder features an automatic shut-off mechanism that will stop
the tape. There will be a slight click sound when the recorder turns off.
There will not be any noise on your telephone line when the recorder
turns off.
When I am recording I hear a “squealing sound”, what’s wrong?
This is feedback. If you have the MONITOR switch in the Low (L) or High (H)
position while recording and the telephone that you are using is too close to
the recorder, you will experience feedback. Either move the telephone away
from the recorder or switch the MONITOR switch Off (O).
All of my recordings are ending after 3 minutes, what’s wrong?
You have the Timer Recording Mode (T) selected. Turn the REC MODE
switch on the rear panel to Line Activation (L) mode. The Timer Recording
Mode will cut off recordings after N (N=1-9) minutes. This is by design. See
the section on the Timer Recording Mode for more information.
When I play back the tape, the voice sounds funny, why?
If the voice sounds like a cartoon (either too high or too low in pitch), then
you likely have the wrong speed selected for that specific recording. Switch
the SPEED switch on the rear panel to the other speed. If this does not
help then check that the tape heads are clean (see section on tape head
maintenance), If this does not work, replace the cassette.
When I play back the tape, the beginning of some words are cut
off, why?
