General Purpose Adapter
With the General Purpose Adapter (GPA) you can connect Touch-Tone (not
rotary) equipment such as modems, autodialers, facsimile (FAX) machines,
and telephone extensions (including cordless telephones) to your analog
phones.
● The GPA may be used with all phones except the 5-Button and HFAI-10
phones.
● If you have a GPA connected to your phone, and you want your
answering machine or modem to go on automatically when you receive a
call, program an Auto Answer-All button for your phone. When you use
the Auto Answer-All feature, the GPA option switch must be set to Auto.
See “Auto Answer-All” in Section 3, “Reference.”
How to Use the General Purpose Adapter
You select the proper switch position, Join, Basic, or Auto, on the adapter
to operate the telephone or data equipment connected to your phone.
Using Join Mode
Set the switch to Join when you want to join a call already in progress on
your phone. You can attach an extension phone or a speakerphone and
have someone join the conversation.
You can attach a recording device to
record the conversation (first getting the participants’ permission) or play
a tape for the listener. In join mode, ringing comes from the phone, not
from the attached device.
Using Basic Mode
Set the switch to Basic to originate and receive calls at the attached
equipment, such as an extension phone.
This device can be located away
from the phone. When you lift the handset, the extension functions like
a phone. Note that incoming calls ring only at the phone, not at the
attached device.
Using Auto Mode
Set the switch to Auto to connect a modem, answering machine, or other
automatic answering device.
Program an Auto Answer-All feature button
and activate it so that the device answers incoming calls automatically. If
an extension is attached, it will ring. See “Auto Answer-All” in Section 3,
“Reference.”
Hands-Free Unit
The Hands-Free Unit is a speakerphone that allows you to place and answer
outside and intercom calls without using the handset. Be sure you are using
the correct model for the phone, as shown below.
● Model S102A (black) is used with analog phones only.
● Model S101A (silver) is used with digital phones only.
The HFU model S102A can be used with all the BIS model phones and the
10-Button, 34-Button, 34-Button Deluxe, SP-34, and SP-34D analog phones.
The HFU model S101A can be used with the 7406D and the 7406D with
Display digital phones.
NOTE:
When you use the HFU with a 7406D digital phone, you must use a
local power unit.
If you program an Auto Answer-Intercom button, you can have the Hands-
Free Unit go on automatically when you receive intercom calls. See “Auto
Answer-Intercom” in Section 3, “Reference.”
