4.4 OTHER STUFF THAT WORKS....

The

Stick can operate on virtually all multi-line Key and PBX phone

systems. We do recommend a specific type of installation for The Stick on
either system. Refer to the section on

Installation page 25

.

The Stick is also compatible with virtually all Credit Card Authorization
Terminals, Point of Sale Terminals, Loop-Start dial-up TELEX machines,

dictation machines, Answering Machines, cordless telephones, CALLER
ID Display equipment- anything that requires a phone line to

communicate.
If you have a CALLER ID Display device, we do recommend that it be

installed on the telephone line BEFORE The Stick and the “

Rings To

Answer

” feature be set for 2 or more rings. The data transmitted by the

local telco, which identifies the calling party’s phone number, arrives

between the first and second ring so it should register on the display
device without a problem.

Services Offered by Your Local Telco-Most telephone companies are now

marketing “Call Packages” that allow subscribers to customize their

phone service in a multitude of ways. Most of the different services
available are compatible with The Stick, but some may impede
performance. Here are a few.

Call Waiting-The “beep” heard during a phone conversation, alerting

you of another call, will not affect the performance of The Stick.

However, pressing the hook switch to field a call will cause The Stick

to do strange things....like inadvertently transferring a call to your fax

machine. We do not advise having call waiting on the same line with

The Stick.
Call Forwarding-The Stick’s automatic answering function (answer

after a programmed number of rings) will not allow calls to be

forwarded to another phone number. You may want to weigh the

pro’s and con’s of using The Stick versus the Call Forwarding service.
