FCC Statement (Part
Interference

The Call Stacker 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 is being conducted for compliance
with the limits for a Class B device in accordance with the
specifications in Part
D.O.C. regulations. 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
Call Stacker 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 Call Stacker unit with respect to the radio or
TV receiver or vice-versa.

- Plug the Call Stacker unit 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 Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and is available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock order No. 004-000­00345-4.

Introduction

The Call Stacker is a microprocessor based audio
recording and announcement system. The Call Stacker is used in conjunction
with a paging system to provide buffered announcement play to the paging
system.

Figure 1-1. Call Stacker Unit

NOTE: Associated
equipment would need
to be powered by an
uninterrupted power
supply.

The Call Stacker features 5 Input Station (recording) channels, a single Page
Output channel and 3 minutes of recording time.

Up to 5 announcements can be recorded simultaneously, virtually eliminating
frustrating delays encountered when accessing the paging system. The recorded
announcements are queued in order so the first announcement recorded that has
hung up, plays first, followed by the second announcement, etc.

The Call Stacker allows users to verify their announcements before they play to
the paging system. If a user is not content with their recorded announcement,
they can re-record it repeatedly until they are satisfied.

The Call Stacker's Page Output channel interfaces to the paging system's control
unit. Once an announcement is recorded, the Call Stacker plays the
announcement over the Page Output channel to the paging system. While the
recorded announcement is playing, the Page Output channel provides a contact
closure to the paging system.

Once the complete recorded announcement plays to the paging system, it is
erased from the Call Stacker, freeing up the recording time for new
announcements.

The Call Stacker can be configured to record and play back paging zone
selection signals. Between 2 and 4 DTMF digits can be entered prior to recording
an announcement which, upon output, precede the recorded announcement and
select the paging system's paging zone.

The Call Stacker is equipped with battery backup which allows it to operate for up to
two hours, from a fully charged battery, if a power failure occurs.
