You should inspect your Base Station when you open the box for possible
damage in shipment. If it is damaged, or any of the components are missing,
contact your Talk-A-Phone Co. distributor immediately. Do not discard any
hardware or packing material before you are certain you have all the items
listed above, and the unit is installed and functioning correctly.
C. Technical Requirements
In order to report an incoming Emergency Phone call, the EB-200 must "hear"
the DTMF tones that are transmitted by all Talk-A-Phone Emergency Phones.
For most applications, the Base Station will be in series with the phone line so
that it will automatically hear the tones as soon as the incoming call is
answered. However, in certain applications, the EB-200 will be connected in
parallel with the phone handset. In this case, be sure that the volume is not
turned down on the handset or the EB-200 will not detect an incoming call.
Any significant noise on the telephone line will also interfere with the
functioning of the EB-200.
If you are planning on connecting the EB-200 to a digital phone line, be sure to
read the Special Instructions for Using a Digital Phone Line.
You will need a serial cable to connect the EB-200 to a serial printer. If you
purchase the Talk-A-Phone model EB-P1 Palm Printer, a serial cable is
included.
