The TELink is a professional-quality telephone-loadable digital audio playback device designed to
provide a continuous-play audio source for message-on-hold applications. The TELink comes standard
with 32 minutes of non-volatile high-density ash memory and offers a wealth of standard features
including fax-line sharing, voice-line sharing and distinctive ring compatibility. A night answer model
is also available to answer the phone after business hours and play a separate night message for callers.
Unpacking and Inspection:
Before you begin installation, unpack and verify you have all the correct parts.
If you are missing any of these parts STOP and call your dealer.
Important Notes:
The grounding cable supplied must be connected from the SURGE GND terminal on the side of the unit to a
known good ground. Failure to do so will VOID the warranty of this product.
This unit MUST BE be installed directly to the incoming telephone line with no other telephone equipment
connected prior to the LINE IN connection on the rear of the unit. This includes phones, faxes, credit card
terminals, alarm systems, etc.

Installation:
The TELink should be installed using the following steps:
Step 1: Wall or shelf mount the unit. Screws and rubber feet are supplied in the accessory kit.
Step 2: If connecting to an amplier make sure it is turned OFF for this part of the installation.
Step 3: Connect the supplied grounding wire from the SURGE GND terminal to the buildings electrical ground.
Step 4: Connect a RCA cable (supplied in the accessory kit) to the OUTPUT jack on the rear of the unit. Depending
upon the required impedance use either the 8Ω or 600Ω output RCA jack. Connect the other side to the MOH port
on the phone system, PA system or speaker.
Step 5: Connect the incoming line to the LINE IN then connect the LINE OUT to a PHONE, FAX or KSU.
Step 6: Attach the included power pack to a wall or power strip receptacle, then attach the other end to the jack on
the rear of the unit labeled 12VDC.
Step 7: If any ampliers were turned OFF during installation then turn them back ON now.
Step 8: Adjust the volume level (while on hold) using up and down VOLUME buttons on the front of the unit.
Depending upon the application either call into the phone system and be placed on hold OR listen to the PA
systems speakers to ne tune volume. If volume controls are locked then the servicing dealer may need to assist
with this step.

Installation (Optional Features):
Fax Share:
The Fax Share feature allows the TELink to share a phone line with a fax machine, saving the expense of having
to install a separate line. In a Fax Share installation, the TELink only answers calls from the servicing dealer and
does not interfere with incoming or outgoing fax transmissions. The fax machine MUST BE SET to answer on
two or more rings than what the TELink is set to answer on. Fax Share cannot be used together with Night Answer.
Night Answer:
The Night Answer feature provides the capability to store a separate night answer message in addition to the
standard MOH message. When the Night Answer feature is activated the TELink will answer incoming calls and
play the informational Night Answer message to the caller. After the night message has played then the caller will
be disconnected automatically and unit will be ready for next call.
Two Night Answer modes are available:
Scheduled - The Night Answer message can be scheduled by the servicing dealer to turn on and off automatically
once per day, on a seven-day calendar. Sample schedule: Night Answer turns OFF at 9am and ON at 5pm
Monday-Friday, with no ON or OFF time scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Under this schedule, Night Answer
is active during non-business hours (5pm-9am) and all weekend long.
Manual (Not Recommended) - Night Answer can be turned ON or OFF on demand by pressing the NIGHT button
on the front panel. If a Night Answer schedule is present, this will override it. If you manually turn Night Answer
ON or OFF, it will remain in that state until you cancel it by pressing the NIGHT button again.
IMPORTANT: If Night Answer is turned ON manually, you must remember to turn it OFF when you want calls
to ring through normally. Until Night Answer is turned OFF, the TELink will continue to answer calls, play the
Night Answer message, then hang up. DO NOT forget to turn Night Answer OFF at the desired time.
When using Night Answer, it is extremely important that the TELink is installed on the rst phone number that
the phone system answers on. Because this line is likely to be the most heavily used, the servicing dealer may
encounter difculty (busy line) when trying to call the unit. Therefore, it is recommended that the initial installation
and subsequent downloads be scheduled during times when the line is not likely to be in use (during non-business
hours).
The NIGHT LED on the front of the TELink indicates the current ON/OFF status of the Night Answer feature:

Operation:
After installation is complete, a download may be required. Check the STATUS LED on the front panel.
STATUS LEDIndication
ONNormal Operation - Audio Playing
BLINKING SLOWNo Audio
BLINKING FASTCommunications Mode - Loading Audio
During communications sessions between the TELink and the servicing dealer, the STATUS LED will BLINK
FAST and the phone line becomes unavailable for incoming and outgoing calls (no dial tone will be present).
After a successful download the STATUS LED remains on SOLID.
If there is no on-hold audio, verify all connections against the installation procedure used and try again. If there
is still no on-hold audio, contact your servicing dealer.
