There are several controls and connectors on the rear of the unit. The
controls are used to select various operating modes and features of the
Telephone Recorder. The default for each switch control is the left position.
In most cases the switches may remain in the default position. If you need
to change the position of a switch a small screwdriver or a pencil may be
used to move the switch. A brief list of the controls and connectors and
their functions follows. More details on these features may be found in the
appropriate section of this manual.
REC MODE (7): may be set to Line Activation (L), Timer Recording Mode
(T), or Voice Controlled System -VCS (V).
MONITOR (8): Used to switch monitor off or to low or high volume mode.
Monitor allows you to listen to telephone calls as they are recorded.

used as a voice recorder and only Caller ID functions are required.

Mode runs the cassette tape at standard speed. Extended Recording
Mode will provide more recording time per cassette tape.

settings are for non-standard telephone connections. Please contact
Technical Support for more details.
Setup:
Setup and operation of the Telephone Recorder Time and Date Stamp,
Caller ID, and Timer Recording Mode is accomplished using the 4 Control
Keys (4) located under the LCD display (1).
The control keys will be referred to as North (N), South (S), East (E), and
The LCD is functioning but none of the tape transport keys (REC, FF,
etc.) are working, what’s wrong?
Make sure the unit is not in Stand Alone Caller ID mode. Move the CID
switch on the rear panel to OFF.
I don’t see any keys labeled North, South, East, or West, where
are they?
North, South, East, and West refer to the 4 control keys arranged in
a diamond pattern below the LCD display. They do not have labels as
they are multi-functional keys. See the above diagram to determine
which key is which.
Do I have to connect the recorder to the telephone that I wish to
record?
No, you can connect the recorder to any available telephone jack. The
recorder will record calls made on all telephone extensions connected
to the same phone line. If you wish to record only certain calls, install
the recorder next to the telephone that you will be using so that you may
switch the recorder on and off.
Can I use my recorder with two phone lines?
The recording is a single line device and can only record from one phone
line at a time. It can be connected to multi-line (KSU or PBX) systems
for use with multiple telephone lines (see note below). However, two line
systems and two line phones require that you either manually reconnect
the recorder between line 1 and line 2 or purchase a switch that will
select between line 1 and line 2. Contact Technical Support for more
information on this.
How do I connect the recorder to my multi-line (KSU or PBX)
telephone system?
The answer varies as these systems feature different architectures. You
may connect the Telephone Recorder to an “outside line” before the line
connects to your telephone system switchbox. At this point the telephone
line is the same as a standard single line as you would find in your home.
If a phone jack is not available, have your telephone system installer
install one. Note that this configuration would record calls on only one line
at a time. The Telephone Recorder would not record calls on the outside
lines that the unit is not connected to. For complete recordings of all lines,
