Features Input from PC The cable marked input from PC accepts a line level signal from your computer sound card to send down the telephone line. This can be an audio CD playing in your computer’s CD ROM drive, a conversation previously recorded from the VOICE PATH, or any other audio on your computer that would normally play through your computer speakers. Output to PC The cable marked output to PC sends a mic level signal to your computer sound card’s mic input.
Connection Voice Path connects between the handset and the telephone base of your telephone. Follow these simple steps...... 1. Unplug the modular handset cord from your telephone base. 2. Using the black handset jumper cord that we have provided, connect the telephone base jack of VOICE PATH to the handset jack on the base of your telephone. 3. Plug your handset cord, and handset (or headset) into the handset jack on VOICE PATH. 4. Connect the From Phone cable to the mic input on your computer. 5.
Connection (continued) Handset Type Switch The three position switch on the back of VOICE PATH selects the type of microphone that is in the handset of your telephone. When you push in the Playback button, VOICE PATH replaces the handset microphone signal with a circuit that must match the characteristics of the handset microphone. The A B C selector switch covers the main three microphone type.
Operation The record/playback button selects which signal will be sent down the phone line; the handset microphone, or the input from PC cable. Recording After connecting the Voice Path as described on page 3, recording a conversation is simple. Make certain the Record / Playback button is in the “Out” position, then start your recording from your software controls. The level of the audio sent into your PC can be adjusted from the back of the unit.
Operation (continued) With the button in, the handset microphone is disconnected and the “Input from PC” cable is active to send audio signals into the phone and down the line. You can also use the Record / Playback button to turn off the handset mic if you are listening to the “Output To PC” signal over a loudspeaker. This will prevent feedback between the handset microphone and loudspeaker. Or, you can always listen over the handset receiver.
