SAFETY INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:-

• Never install telephone wiring during lightning storm.

• Do not use your 7500AI unit near water or when wet.

• Do not take apart or remove the screws (except battery cover screw) - there are no serviceable parts inside.

• Make sure the line cord and AC Adaptor do not cause a trip hazard.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your 7500AI conforms to Australian or New Zealand Telecommunications Authority Standards and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN. This number is on the label under the 7500AI.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than three(3), your phone(s) may not ring and your 7500AI may not answer. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

NOTE: You must not connect your 7500AI to any of the following:

• Coin operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key phone systems

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your 7500AI Digital Telephone Answering Machine (7500AI) with Caller ID Display. This product has been designed especially for the Australian or New Zealand market. It is guaranteed to provide you with reliability, long life and outstanding performance.

The 7500AI is built with a wide screen for easy viewing of caller identification. It displays the caller’s details (name* and telephone number) the time and date the call came through, and an indicator if the call came with a message.

Digital Answering Machine means all messages are stored on a computer chip - there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to bother with. This gives you capabilities that tapebased answering machines don’t have. For example, you can delete individual messages or play only new messages.

NOTE: To use the Caller ID feature you must first subscribe to this service from your

telephone service provider. * Caller’s name will only appear if it is sent by Telstra or your telephone service provider.

CONNECTING THE 7500AI TO THE TELEPHONE LINE

To connect the 7500AI to the phone line, plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the jack on the back of the 7500AI labelled “line”. Then plug the cord’s other end into a telephone socket.

If you wish to connect both the 7500AI and a telephone to the telephone line, simply use the two way splitter supplied. Plug the splitter into the telephone wall socket then plug the 7500AI into one side of the splitter and the phone into the other side.

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING POWER

1. Plug the AC Adaptor into the power socket at the rear of the 7500AI labelled “AC 9V 400mA”.

2. Then plug the other end into your mains socket.

When the power is first connected, the 7500AI beeps and the display shows a memory test counting from 00 to 22.

After the counter reaches 22, the 7500AI beeps and the display shows.

NOTE: The display will have OGM1 OGM2 flashing to call the user’s attention to record an OGM.

The battery icon will also be displayed if no battery is installed on your 7500AI.

remove the screw on the

compartment cover.

2. Push down the latch to release

the battery compartment cover.

3. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to the

battery connector, then

place the battery into the compartment.

4. Replace the cover and secure it with the

screw.

INSTALLATION

Disconnect the telephone line and power line cords before replacing the battery. Always use a new 9V battery for optimum performance.

Dispose of old battery promptly and properly.
