Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Skutch
CK-1R3 Promotion-On-Hold Module.
The CK-1R3 is a true plug and play
device. The unit does not require any
"Learning" to operate. When a call is
placed ON HOLD from the base or any
one of the cordless phones, the caller
will hear the Promotion-On-Hold audio.
When the line is re-answered, the audio
automatically stops. It's that simple!
It should be noted that the 25255
telephones BEEP every 10 seconds
when placed ON HOLD. This is a
function of the telephone, NOT the CK­1R3. This BEEP can NOT be disabled.
The BEEP will be heard along with the
Production-On-Hold Audio.

1- Position the CK-1R3 box behind the
base telephone with the jacks facing

back of your phone at the jack labeled

Sensor Board covers LINE 1
and LINE 2 Buttons. It fits

the contour of the phone.

3- Connect the supplied modular cord to [1&2 Phone] on CK-1, and the other end to the
jack [LINE 1+2] on the Phone.

4- Connect the RCA audio cord from the AUDIO IN jack on the back of the CK-1 box,
to your audio source. If your audio source has an 1/8” phone jack, use the audio adapter
on the end of the cable.

5- Run the Flat Gray Sensor Board cable underneath the base phone. Make sure that the
surface area of the base phone, where the sensor board is to be mounted, is clean and free
of all dust and oil film. Peel off the paper protectors from the bottom of the sensor board,
and carefully place it OVER the LINE 1 and LINE 2 buttons on the RCA phone as shown
in Fig #2.

6- Connect the POWER CUBE from the CK-1 BOX to 115VAC power. That's it!

Testing the System:

1- Pickup the handset and depress the line 1 button on your telephone. The No."1" Green
LED on the CK-1R3 Sensor Board should light up.
2- Repeat this test for line 2. If both lines light up when picked up, the CK-1 Sensor
Board is mounted correctly. If either light does not light up, then

a) Make sure that the CK-1R3 and Phone is connected to power.
b) Make sure that the SENSOR BOARD is aligned properly and is FLAT against the
surface of the phone..

Audio momentarily cuts out when ON HOLD

In some cases the IN-USE light blinking rate, on a holding line is interrupted when you
pick up the other line or place the other line ON HOLD. When this happens, the CK1-R3
will cut out the audio for about a one second period. This is normal. This only happens
occasionally.

Lights on CK-1 Box.

When you place a line on HOLD, the corresponding LED on the rear of the CK-1R3 box
lights up to confirm the Promotion-On-Hold condition.

Using Other models of telephones

The CK-1R3 will ONLY provide Promotion-On-Hold audio when a call is placed ON
HOLD from the 25255 Base or any of it's cordless telephones. Only ONE 25255RE2-A
