30 LINGO TECHNICIAN’S GUIDE
Connecting Lingo to the telephone system
Before connecting Lingo to your telephone
system, confirm that the telephone system
meets Lingo’s requirements, it is prepared,
and it is tested.
To connect Lingo to the telephone system
1
Connect each telephone system jack to a
Lingo port jack by using a four-conduc-
tor lead.
2
If you are using a modem, connect it to
Lingo and then plug the modem in.
3
Plug in Lingo to an electrical outlet, and
wait a few minutes while it completes its
start-up routine, which is indicated on
the side of Lingo by the LEDs lighting in
a series of patterns.
4
Install the eight AA batteries in Lingo.
If the LEDs do not light at all, change the
batteries. If the LEDs remain unlit, contact
Technical Support. If the system stops on
one of the LED patterns, refer to Appendix
E, “Using Lingo’s LED patterns for
troubleshooting.”
Notes
• Lingo must have batteries installed to
function properly. We recommend using
Eveready Energizer batteries for best
results.
• Always leave Lingo plugged in when
changing the batteries.
