Your package should contain:

• a Payphone Zircon

• two cash box keys

• a Payphone Zircon notice

• a set of payphone signs

• a fixing kit for a solid wall or table top.

The cash box key opens the cash box and
you’ll also need it when you program your
Payphone Zircon. Make a note of the key
number here and keep this guide in a safe
place in case you ever need to order more keys.
We have provided a spare key.

Key number

The serial number is written on the base of the
Payphone. Make a note of the number now,
before you fix the Payphone in place.

Serial number

You use your PIN (Personal Identification
Number) for checking how much money your
Payphone Zircon has taken and for
programming.

It is written on the label on the handset. When
you’re sure you can remember your PIN, and
before you let people use your Payphone,
throw the label away.

If you think someone else might know your
PIN, change it as soon as you have set up the
Payphone – see page 32.

Keeping your PIN safe

If you want to write your PIN down, make
sure you disguise it as another number
such as a phone number or birthday.

Locking the cash box

Always try lifting the top cover to check
that it is properly closed when you lock it.

Follow these 9 steps, and your

Payphone Zircon will be ready to use

6

The Payphone is designed for use in a
supervised environment. Choose a spot where
it can be seen by you and your customers but
will still allow some privacy for callers.

Plugging in the Payphone

To operate correctly your Zircon payphone can
only be connected to a Telstra ELQ (50 Hz)
payphone line. Please contact Telstra to make
sure your line is compatible with your
payphone.

7

There’s a space at the back of the
Payphone so that you can put it
directly over the phone socket to keep
the cord safe and stop anyone from
removing the phone plug.

Cut out for phone plug

Fixing your Payphone to the wall

If you put the back of the Payphone over the socket,
make sure you store the spare cord out of the way.

Payphone

number label under the handset and write in

As you are providing a payphone service, you

must put up a notice giving people information

about the payphone and call charges.
We have provided a notice for the Payphone

which includes most of the information you
need to tell people and space for you to add the
remaining details.

You must add:

• the charge for local calls – this is set to 50c for
3 minutes of time when you first get your

Payphone

• the minimum charge for calls – this is set to
50c when you first get your Payphone

• the name of the person who should be
contacted about complaints

• the full address of where the payphone is
located

• details of any other phones connected to the

same line

These could be used to overhear calls on the

Payphone.

Checking your phones

If you have more than one phone or other
piece of equipment plugged into your line,
remember that each of them uses the
signal that comes down the phone line.
The signal is only strong enough for a few
phones, so you need to check that you
don’t have too many phones plugged in.

Every phone has a REN (Ringer
Equivalent Number) written on it which is
a guide to how much of the signal it uses.
If the RENs of your phones add up to
more than 3, they may not work.
Payphone Zircon has a REN of 1.

Programming your Payphone Zircon

two letters of the feature's name, and
then press . For instance, to program
