Do I need barge-in protection?
If you use a data device (FAX, MODEM, etc),
V
you should place the “BARGE-IN” switch
in the “ON” position.For
your SR to properly provide barge-in protection, any telephone or
other device that could interrupt the
call or data transfer must be
connected THROUGH the SR. If barge-in protection
is not required
(for example,
in a voice-only application at home), certain phones
may be attached directly to the telephone line.
Ease and expense of changing my telephone wiring.
In most applications, a complete re-wire is not needed. Many homes
are wired
in a way that allows some “tricks” to make installation
easier and
less expensive.
Several methods of installation are described in the following pages. Each
has advantages and limitations.
If you feel uncomfortable at any point with the installation procedures, we
recommend that you contact your dealer for assistance.
You may also
want to contact your telephone company or an independent installer to
assist you with any wiring changes that may be necessary at your
site.
For Safety
Your telephone company has probably installed a small box called a
lightning
arrestor near where the telephone line comes into your
building or home. Both the incoming line and the wire(s) servicing your
phones and equipment are attached to this box. Under no
circumstances should you disconnect or alter the wire going from this
box toward the telephone company. The only wires and connections
you should change are those going from this box toward your
equipment.
