communication without the noise, echo and feedback common in most speakerphones.
Designed to work with an analog telephone line, the system features advanced Digital
Signal Processing and software controlled functions. It's easy to use and will ensure that
you always receive high fidelity sound during your conference calls.
For correct installation, follow the instructions given below. This will ensure proper
operation of the unit.
The Audio Conferencing System includes the following items:
Audio Conferencing Unit (ACU)
Audio Supply Module (ASM)
a black 6 meter (20 ft) cable with two RJ-45 modular plugs to connect the Audio
Conferencing Unit to the Audio Supply Module
þa black 4 meter (13 ft) cable with two RJ-11 modular plugs for connection to any
analog telephone network
a power supply cable to connect the Audio Conferencing Unit to the power-line
supply
user's guide
2.1. Connection and supply module for the audio conferencing
system
The Audio Conferencing Unit is intended for use when supplied with power from the
Audio Supply Module. The module includes a switch on the power supply to change the
supply input voltage from 115VAC/60Hz to 230VAC/50Hz.
WARNING
Before Use make sure to select the right power supply on VOLTAGE
− NEVER install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
!
− NEVER install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
− NEVER touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
− ALWAYS USE CAUTION when installing or connecting telephone
lines.
− ALWAYS place the AUDIO SUPPLY MODULE on the floor
2.3. How to ensure better performance
For best microphone coverage, place Audio Conferencing Unit in the center of the
conference table.
Participants should be seated uniformly around the ACU to minimize level differences in
the pick-up of voices. In noisier rooms, participants need to be closer to the module for
clearer pickup of their voices. For optimum performance, use the figure below to
determine talker distance to unit.
A ringer volume switch is available with “SILENT”, “LOW”, and “HIGH” positions on the
bottom side of the UNIT.
3.2. electing pulse dialing
Press SHIFT, then press REDIAL to select the PULSE dialing mode. The UNIT reverts to
tone mode when cycled off or when the SHIFT REDIAL is pressed again. You will hear a
tone for each toggle.

available on the AUDIO SUPPLY MODULE.
3.14. Switch settings
The switches on the bottom of the ACU let you adjust the phone ringer volume.
The Audio Conferencing Unit External microphones have excellent unidirectional
characteristics that optimize voice pickup while eliminating background noise.
Together with a voice activated circuit that keeps unused microphones attenuated, the
ACU with External Microphones solves the common problems found in large-group audio
conferencing applications.
4.1. Connecting extension microphones
Connect the microphone cables to the Audio Conferencing Unit as shown in the figure
below:
4.2. Setting up of the external microphones for the best pickup
To ensure the best performance:
Set the extension microphones
1.5-2 m (5-7 ft) from Audio Conferencing Unit.
participants should sit 1 m (3 ft) from microphone.
Turn on the microphone using the ON/OFF switch. The led will turn green.
4.4. Muting a microphone
To mute all microphones and the Audio Conferencing System press MUTE. The led will
turn red. To resume the communication depress the MUTE button and the LED will turn
green.
To shut off a single extension microphone, switch to OFF the ON/OFF switch. The LED
MUTE will turn red.
Switch to the ON position and the microphone is activated again.
DO unplug the SUPPLY MODULE and the ACU before cleaning.
DO check cables for kinking or tearing, especially in floor traffic areas.
DON'T use volatile solvents to clean surfaces. A clean, soft cloth, lightly moistened,
is usually adequate. If a spray or paste cleaner is used, DON'T let it clog the
microphone or loudspeaker openings.
DON'T risk fire or electrical shock by placing the SUPPLY MODULE on a wet
surface or spilling liquid on it.
DON'T place the SUPPLY MODULE on a radiator or other heat sources.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this
equipment is a label that includes, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. (The REN for the
ACU is 0.8). You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone
company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to
your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance. But if advance notice isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.
You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will
be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone
service.

(PSTN) into an analog phone line through an RJ11 jack (same type used with
!
fax machines. The telephone cable included with your AUDIO
CONFERENCING SYSTEM is for use with an RJ11 (standard single line)
telephone interface.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
!
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
- reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
- increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
- connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected
- consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for
pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful
operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance
