3.
4.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Page 12
Recorder Logging
A tape recording may be desirable for evidence to prove
that certain announcements or warnings were made over
the paging system. The normally open contacts
(terminals 16 & 17, see Figure 2-1) may be used to
activate a tape recorder to record all tones and
announcements that were made, without the background
music in between which would consume large amounts
of tape.
Balanced to Unbalanced
The balanced inputs of the AT&T PagePal may be
driven by an unbalanced source. Simply connect the two
wires to the + and – input terminals.
Unbalanced inputs to power amplifiers may be driven
from the PagePal’s balanced output by connecting the
PagePal ground (terminal 14, see Figure 2-1) to the
input ground of the power amp, and the + or – output
(terminal 13 and 15, see Figure 2-1) of PagePal to the
“hot” input pin of the power amp. However, the output
level will be 6dB less.
Connections
Modular Telephone
Jack
The PagePal provides four connectors on the unit’s back panel
(see Figure 2-1). The following information describes each of
the connectors and their function.
This is a standard 6-pin telephone Modular type connector,
located at J1 on the unit back panel. See Table 2-1 for a
description of each of the pins.

Slide Switch This four-position switch is provided to configure the AT&T
PagePal for the appropriate mode of telephone access. See
Figure 1-1.
LS-Loop Start PBX trunk or a dedicated phone set
Note: With the switch in this position, the PagePal is optioned
to interface with a Loop Start trunk of a PBX or Line Port of
Key System. In this mode, the PagePal supplies the “talk
battery” on Tip and Ring.
GS-Ground Start PBX ground start trunk
Note: With the switch in this position, the PagePal is optioned
to interface with a Ground Start trunk of a PBX. in this mode it
is imperative that the PBX ground be connected to Pin 1 of the
20 pin connector on the PagePal or pin 2 of the RJ11 connector on the PagePal. In addition, the PagePal supplies the “talk
battery” on Tip and Ring after the PBX has supplied a “hand
shake” to the PagePal by momentarily grounding the Ring lead.
NOTE: PagePal must be connected to CWP ground at J2-1.
SA-Station Access
Note: With the switch in this position, the PagePal is optioned
to interface with a CENTREX, PBX or Key System ANALOG
station. In this mode the PagePal wants to receive “talk battery”
and ring voltage from the host system that it is connected to.
DL-Dry Loop PBX page ports or auxiliary pac
Note: With the Switch in this position, the PagePal is optioned
to interface with the Page Port of a Key System or an Auxiliary
Pac of a PBX. Dry Loop is a 4 wire connection, pins 2 and 5 of
the RJ11 are intended to interface with the control leads of the
host system, while Tip and Ring connect to the usual pins 3
and 4 of the RJ11. In this mode the PagePal will not have “talk
battery” on its Tip and Ring and will not expect to see “talk
battery” on the host systems Tip and Ring.

Level Controls
Main Output
Adjusts level of output. Full counter-clockwise rotation provides
unity gain from Telephone input to PagePal output. This is best
for driving AT&T PagePals, or consumer (home Hi-Fi) type
amplifiers.
Full clockwise rotation provides 14dB gain.* This will be more
appropriate commercial-industrial sound equipment. Refer to
the specifications of your power amplifier for the appropriate
input level, or experiment with the adjustments for best results.
Set the Main Output level first using telephone input, then
adjust Attendant and Music inputs for an appropriate relative
level. (Telephone input signals are typically -15 to -10dBm.)
Attendant Input
Adjusts level of Attendant Input relative to the Telephone Input.
Adjustment range is from 0dB to less than -30dB.
Music Input
Adjusts the level of Music Input relative to Telephone Input.
Adjustment range is from 0dB to less than -30dB.
*Gain assumes that the balanced output is driving 600 ohms. (See block diagram in Appendix B for gain
structure.)

FCC Regulations—Part 15
Radio Frequency
Interference
The AT&T PagePal generates and uses radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio
and television reception. Testing has been conducted for
compliance with the limits for Class B device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. This testing is designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the unit off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
●
Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
Relocate the PagePac 6 Plus with respect to the radio or TV
●
receiver or vice-versa.
●
Plug the PagePac 6 Plus into a different outlet so that it and the
radio or TV receiver are on different branch circuits.
●
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may
find the following booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems,” helpful. This booklet was prepared by the

FCC Regulations—Part 68
This equipment is registered with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in accordance with Part 68 of its Rules. The
FCC requires that the manufacturer provide you with the
following information:
1. Connection and Use with Nationwide Telephone Network
The FCC requires that you connect your telephone equipment
to the nationwide telephone network through a modular
telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack
to which the equipment must be connected is a USOC RJ11C.
Registered equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone
Lines. Equipment may be used with Party Lines in areas where
state tariffs permit such connections and when equipment is
adaptable for such use.
2. Information You May Need to Supply the Telephone
Company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are
required to provide them with the following information:
A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone
equipment.
B. The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). Both numbers are listed on the equipment
label. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you
may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring
when your telephone line is called. In most, but not all, areas,
the sum of all RENs per line should be 5 or less. You may
want to contact your local telephone company. The local
telephone company must also be notified upon final
disconnection of the equipment from the local telephone
company lines.

Appendix C—Secondary Circuit Protection
Important Information
This equipment is for use on telephone wiring containing a
secondary circuit protector. This paging equipment requires
a Harris Dracon model 22060-930 PageGuard Secondary
Circuit Protector where applicable (see Figure C-1).
Each PagePac unit is supplied with a PageGuard protector
factory-installed on the principal Tip-Ring pair. Each terminal
pair on Terminal Strip “B” (see Figure C-2 of the PagePac
manual) that is to be connected to any wires that go off
premises must be supplied with an additional PageGuard
protector.
The secondary circuit protector must be located between the
primary protector and the paging equipment. Refer to the
Safety Information and Installation Steps below.
Safety Information
The PageGuard is used when connecting paging equipment
■
directly to telephone lines that maybe exposed to high
voltage power lines.
■

■

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
■
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
