7.20 Using The Auxiliary Jack
NOTE: Only the 8024S telephone has an auxiliary jack. All other
model telephones use the handset jack to plug in a headset.
The auxiliary jack provides an interface for a headset, a tape recorder, an
external ringer or an external pager. You or your system installer can
connect any one of these auxiliary devices as you need them. You must
program one of the programmable buttons on your telephone to serve as
an enable/disable button for each auxiliary device you plan to connect to
your LCD speakerphone. The system will activate only the device that it
identifies in the display, and will activate only one device at any time.
The headset mode allows you to operate your telephone with a headset
instead of as a speakerphone or with the handset.
NOTE: The recorder, external ringer, or pager requires external power.
The recorder mode allows you to send your voice and that of the distant
party to a tape recorder.
NOTE: A recording device requires a special peripheral cord for
connection. See your system installer for details.
The ringer mode allows an external speaker to sound the ringing of your
telephone.
The pager mode allows an external paging device to sound all voice
announcements (all-call, zone paging, voice announced intercom calls)
sent to your telephone.
CAUTION
With the exception of a headset microphone, do not connect the
audio output of any external device to the auxiliary jack. Also, do not
connect the tip and ring leads of a telephone line to the auxiliary
jack. Do not connect any devices to the auxiliary jack other than
those mentioned above.
