Woodstock D2258 - Manual

©2000 Woodstock International, Inc. D2258-300-04-2000
The Woodstock Model D2258 Shop Flash™ is an extremely useful accessory for the home or shop, providing the oppor-
tunity to have both a visual and an audio warning when there are incoming telephone calls.
First determine where you want to mount the Shop Flash™ unit. It can either be mounted to a wall or laid flat on a table
or bench top. If you are planning to utilize the flashing light feature, it will be most easily visible if it is wall-mounted.
The unit should be within 15 feet of the telephone receiver to allow connection of the audio sensor. You will also need
access to a 110V outlet to plug in the power transformer. The unit should be located at least 5 feet away from the nearest
machine(s). If the machine is too close, the ambient sound from the machine can override the audio sensor connected to
the phone and cause the Shop Flash™ to activate when the machine starts.
If mounting to a wall, use the template enclosed to mark the position for the two screws included. Drill a starter hole ( 1 ⁄
16
"
to 7 ⁄
64
") in the center of the circular portion of the two template marks. Drive the screws in, leaving about 1 ⁄
8
" of the threads
extending out. Hang the Shop Flash™ unit on the two screws using the slotted recesses in the back.
Next take the audio sensor and peel the adhesive backing off, and attach the sensor to the side or underside of the phone.
The Shop Flash™ is not designed to be used with cordless phones. It may be necessary to experiment with the placement
of the sensor on the phone until you find the point of maximum sensitivity to the internal ringer of the phone. Make sure
the phone’s ringing volume is set to the maximum level if it has an adjustment. Plug the other end of the audio sensor into
the side of the Shop Flash™ unit marked “Telephone Sensor”.
Plug the adapter into the wall outlet and the other end into the opening with “12V” next to it. Set the switch on the front
of the unit for either flashing light only, bell only, or both light and bell. Turn the Shop Flash™ unit on with the other
front-mounted switch. Test the unit by dialing the phone to which the unit is connected, and make sure it is activated. The
volume of the bell on the wall unit can be adjusted with a thumbwheel on the bottom of the unit.
If the unit does not activate, try relocating the placement of the audio sensor on the phone base and make sure the volume
is set to the maximum level. If being installed in a shop environment, test again with several of the machines running to
make sure the unit is still activated only by the phone and not by any ambient noise coming from those machines. If ambi-
ent noise does cause activation, it may be necessary to relocate the unit. If it is placed too near a corner of the room, or
near a structure which allows sound to reverberate it can be activated by other sounds in the room.
This unit is designed for interior use only and should not be used in wet or extremely humid conditions. It can be cleaned
with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. The light in the Shop Flash™ is not user replaceable.
