Those who use paging systems to rebroadcast copyrighted music are required to obtain licenses
from and pay fees to copyright owners. This usua lly involves obtaining licenses and p aying fees to
either ASCAP and/or BMI (American Society of Composers, Artis ts and Producers, Broadcast
Music Inc.). It is the user's obligation to obtain any license required and pay any fees.

Whenever possible, the PagePac 6 paging system should be plugged int o the same AC power
receptacle as the voice system.

OPERATION

Paging procedures differ depending on the requirements of your telephone system and how it is con­nected to PagePac 6. If your system is connected using a PagePac

®

6 Port Saver, pay particular atten-

tion to the pertinent instruction section below.

PAGING WHEN CONNECTED THROUGH A PAGE PORT OR A PAGEPAC®
TRUNK ADAPTER

The exact procedure for paging on your p articular telephone system is explained in the user's manual
that accompanies the telephone system. In general, though, the steps are as follows:

1. Access the paging function as required by your telephone system. If PagePac 6 is connected

through a page port, you will probably push a button or dial a code to access the function. If
PagePac 6 is connected through a PagePac Tr unk Adapter, you will follow your tel ephone system's
requirements for accessing the line reserved for paging.

2. Make the page.

3. Replace the telephone handset gently (remember you are st ill connected to the loudspeaker). This

will prevent loud noises from being heard over the p aging system.

ADJUSTING PAGE AND MUSIC VOLUME

Volume controls on the rear of PagePac 6 allow you to adjust the volume of paging and background
music independently.

To adjust paging volume, turn the PAGE VOL control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease volume.

6 947176

To adjust background music volume, turn t he MUSIC VOL control clockwise to increase or counterclock­wise to decrease volume. If you do not use background music, turn the MUSIC VOL control fully coun­terclockwise.

Note: PAGE VOL should be adjusted first, then MUSIC VOL.

MAINTENANCE

The PagePac 6 contains no user-serviceable parts, and should be repaired only by authorized person­nel. There are several types of inst all atio n and maintenance pl ans av ailabl e from Valcom or your dealer .
For information or warranty service, call your Valcom sales representative or authorized dealer.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

FCC REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THIS EQUIPMENT

FCC (PART 15)
Radio Frequency Interference

The PagePac 6 generates, and uses radio-fr equency energ y and, if not inst al led and used in st rict accor ­dance with the manufacturer’s instruction s, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
Testing has been conducted for compliance with the limits for a Class B device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpar t J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 PagePac unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• R eorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.

• R elocate the PagePac with respect to the radio or TV receiver or vice-versa

• Plug the PagePac 6 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 technic ian f o r 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 Government printin g Office,
Washington, DC 20402. Stock order No. 004-000-00345-4.

FCC (PART 68)

This equipment is registered with the Federal Communic ations Commission (FCC) in accordance with
Part 68 of its Rules. The FCC requires that the manufacturer p rovi de you with the following information:

8 947176

1. Connection and Use with Nationwide Telephone Network

The FCC requires that you connect your telephone equipment to the nationwide telephone network
through a modular telephone outl et or jac k. The modul ar telephone outl et or j ack to which the equipment
must be connected is a USOC RJ11C.

Registered equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines. Equipment may be used with Party
Lines in areas where state tariffs permit such connections and when equipment is adaptable for such
use.

2. Information You Ma y Need to Supply the Telephone Company

Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following infor­mation.

A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone equipment.
Note: In Canada, the Document Registration Number appears on the maple-leaf label and the Load

Number is under the maple-leaf label.

B. The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). Both numb ers are listed on
the equipment label. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your tele­phone line and still have them ring when your telephone line s is cal led. In most, but not all, areas, the
sum of all RENs per line should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company.
The local telephone company must also be notified upon final disconnection of the equipment from the
local telephone company lines.

CSA REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THIS EQUIPMENT

This product is UL Listed and CSA Certified.

NOTICE:

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain tel ecommunications network protective operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facili­ties of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an accept­able method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connecto r assembly (telephone extension
cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degra­dation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an autho rized Canadian maintenance facility desig­nated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment mal­functions, may give the telecommunicati ons company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.

9 947176

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precau­tion may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION:

User should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

SECONDARY CIRCUIT PROTECTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This equipment is for use on telephone wiring cont aining a secondary circuit protector. This paging
equipment requires a secondary circuit protector where applicable (see Figure 7).

The secondary circuit protector must be located between the primary protector and the paging equip­ment. Refer to the Safety Information below.

Figure 7. Example Configuration Requiring Secondary Protection

When Paging Equipment is Connected Directly to the Telephone Network

SAFETY INFORMATION

• The secondary circuit protector is used when connecting paging equipment directly to telephone lines
that may be exposed to high voltage power lines.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet loca tions unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• N ever touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.

• U se caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Use appropriate Valcom approved device.
