2.7 Telephone Line

The Model 800 will operate with all standard analog telephone
lines that accept pulse or tone dialing. The Model 800 cannot be
used on an extension line to dial its own telephone number. Also,
it may not be installed on a party line, pay telephone line, or
digital telephone system.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment
may not accept the Model 800 dialing or may generate an
unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be
required. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you
encounter problems.
If you do not have a modular telephone extension at the Model
800's location, you must contact your local telephone company
to have one installed (there is a charge for this service). If you
have four-pin jacks, adapters are available to convert them to
the modular plugs. Contact your local telephone company or
electronics parts store.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations
unless the jack is specifically designed for wet loca-
tions. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has been discon-
nected at the network interface. Use caution when
installing or modifying telephone lines.
To install the telephone line, plug one end of the modular cord
into the "line" jack on the back of the model 800 (as shown) and
plug the other end into any standard RJ11 phone outlet.
Refer to Figure 2-4.

On the back of the Model 800 is an extra female telephone jack
labeled "EXT". This is provided so that a telephone or other
answering device may be used on the same line as the unit.
