You can configure your Talk-A-Phone unit for a variety of environments. For

example, if your communication line is a PBX extension, you must configure the

Talk-A-Phone unit to recognize the PBX system by programming the following

functions:

• Telephone line type (Mode II or III): *14*[2 or 3]*

• Number of ring cycles before the Talk-A-Phone unit aborts a call and either

redials the primary number or switches to the secondary number: *18*…[ring

cycles]*

• Talk-A-Phone unit disconnects after 30 seconds of silence, *55*

When the Talk-A-Phone unitʼs extension is setup as a "ringdown" or "hot line", the Talk-A-

Phone unit has to be programmed with a phone number: *13*…[5 digit number]*

(Example: *13*12345*).
