Mode 1 (equal access)
gives the telephone
device and the
SPIRIT
Telephone equal
access to the connection, regardless of which
made the connection first (like an extension
phone in your home). You could use this
mode, for example, if the attached device is a
cordless phone and you want to use it as an
extension. If you attached an answer/
record machine, this mode would allow you
to record conversations because both the
recorder and the
SPIRIT
Telephone can be
on the call at the same time*.
Mode 2 (SPIRIT Telephone has priority)
always gives priority to the
SPIRIT
Tele-
phone whenever it is "off-hook" (that is,
when its receiver is up or the speakerphone
is on), regardless of whether the telephone
device is also off-hook or was off-hook first.
For example, if you have an answer/record
machine and you want to be able to intercept
a call being answered by that device, this
mode setting is ideal because as soon as the
SPIRIT
Telephone goes off-hook, it will
disconnect the answer/record machine.
If the telephone device remains off-hook
when the
SPIRIT
Telephone gets control, the

laws and regulations.
telephone device will be disconnected, but
will be reconnected to the call when the
SPIRIT
Telephone is hung up.
NOTE In modes 2 and 4, if the SPIRIT
telephone is connected to the call and you try
to use the telephone device, you won’t hear
anything because the telephone device won’t
be connected.
Mode 3 (telephone device has priority)
always gives priority to the telephone device,
regardless of whether the SPIRIT Telephone
is off-hook or was off-hook first. This is the
most appropriate setting for facsimile ma-
chines and computer modems because it
prevents the data transmission from being
interrupted if someone inadvertently picks
up the
SPIRIT
Telephone receiver.
NOTE:
In modes 3 and 4, if the telephone
device is connected to the call and you try
to use the
SPIRIT
Telephone, you won’t
hear anything because the
SPIRIT
Tele-
phone won’t be connected.
Mode 4 (first-on has priority)
gives priority
to the first device that makes the connection.
For example, if the
SPIRIT
Telephone has
control, the telephone device can't access the
call until the
SPIRIT
Telephone is on-hook—
and vice versa.
