Operation

The Output Jack provides a mix of both sides
of the conversation. In other words, whatever
you send down the phone line will come back
on this jack mixed with the audio from the other
side of the call.

Two adapter cables are supplied with the
QuickTap. One cable has 1/8" mono connec­tors on each end. This cable can be used to
connect QuickTap to the line input on some
powered speakers.

The second cord has a 1/8" stereo plug on one
end and an RCA mono plug on the other end.
The RCA plug is wired to the tip or left channel
of the stereo plug. The ring or right channel is
not connected. Use this cable to connect
QuickTap to powered speakers or amplifiers
equipped with RCA jacks.

FAQ’s

? Will the QuickTap work with my telephone?
! The QuickTap will work with virtually any tele-

phone that is not cellular and does not have a
keypad in the handset. It is compatible with
analog, digital, PBX, and ISDN telephones and
systems. We cannot guarantee that it will work
with every telephone out there, but we have yet
to hear of one it does not work with.

? How do I get both of my powered speakers

to work with the QuickTap?

! You will need to get a mono to stereo converter

to go between the speakers and the QuickTap.
These are readily available at most electronic
stores.

? The QuickTap works great for recording

conversations but how do I send a re­cording down the telephone line?

! The QuickTap is a receive only device. If you

want to send recorded audio down the line, you
should purchase a THAT-1, THAT-2 or a Voice
Path.
