The Minicom 6000 Plus is simple to set up. You will need a mains power socket
to plug in the AC adapter and either: (1) a connection to a standard telephone
line or, (2) access to a telephone.
The best way to use the Minicom 6000 Plus is to plug it into a standard telephone
line. This is called direct connect. See Selecting a Location below for more
information on direct connect. If you cannot plug the Minicom 6000 Plus into a
standard telephone line, you can also make and answer calls by placing a
telephone handset in the Minicom 6000 Plus’s acoustic cups.
Selecting a Location
The Minicom 6000 Plus requires a standard (analogue) telephone line, the kind
found in most homes. Some businesses use digital telephone systems. To use the
Minicom 6000 Plus with a digital system, use only the acoustic cups. Do not
connect the Minicom 6000 Plus directly to the telephone line of a digital
telephone system. If you wish to use direct connect, some modifications can be
made to the digital system. If you are not sure of the type of telephone line you
are using, contact your telephone installer.
Select a location to set up the Minicom 6000 Plus where:
✔ There is a mains power socket nearby
✔ There is a phone jack nearby
✔ Cords will not cross walkways
✔ The Ring Indicator is easily visible
✔ The surface it is set on is stable
✔ The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity
