Emergency Phones without Auto Dialing

The K-1500 Emergency Phones provide reliable handset or handsfree
emergency communication.

The K-1500-E and K-1500-EHFA can be connected directly to a C.O.
line or analog PABX/KSU station when used in conjunction with a hot­line dialer or programmed ring down circuit. The phones can also be
used with Viking’s DLE-200B ring down circuit.

When the button is pressed, the K-1500-EHFA
will come off hook until its intelligent call

Connection to Party Line Service is subject to State Tarif fs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service com­mission or corporation commission for information.

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND (OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCYNUMBERS:

Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This
is to avoid damaging the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Adigital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica­tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC REQUIREMENTS

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. Inside the front panel
of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as deter­mined by the total REN's, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this K-1500-E or K-1500-EHFAdoes not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

If the K-1500-E or K-1500-EHFAcauses harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company
will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make

B. Adjusting the Microphone Volume

In certain noisy locations (background traffic, machin­ery or wind), the microphone volume may need to be
decreased. A symptom of this is one-way talk path, in
which the distant party cannot be heard over the
speaker. A MIC VOL pot is provided on the K-1500-
EHFAfor increasing or decreasing the microphone vol­ume. Note: If the microphone volume is set too high

or too low, one-way talk path may occur.

C. DIP Switch Programming

DIP switch 1 is for turning the Auto Answer feature ON and OFF.
The K-1500-EHFA is factory set to auto answer when an inbound
call is detected.

1. Auto Answer Feature ON/OFF (DIP Switch 1)

With DIP switch 2 in the ON position, if the K-1500-EHFA detects
more than 5 seconds of continued dial tone, the unit will auto­matically disconnect. If the K-1500-EHFA is installed on a con­tinuously noisy line, it may detect the noise as dial tone and auto­matically disconnect. If this happens, turn the dial tone detection
(DIP switch 2) OFF.

This feature selects the length of time that calls will remain connected
without voice activity . Programmable in increment s of 10 seconds up to
a maximum of 90 seconds. To disable the silence time out, program
nothing in the time value location. Use the chart at the right.
* Note: The factory default is 40 seconds.

With DIP switch 3 in the OFF position, the K-1500-EHFA is in the “Normal Operation Mode” (factory setting). By
placing DIP switch 3 in the ON position, the K-1500-EHFA ’s programming mode is enabled. The programming
mode is used for adjusting the Call Length Time Out, Silence Time for automatic disconnect and the Talk/Listen
delay (VOX switching speed). These features are set from the factory and normally do not need adjustment. If
adjustment is necessary, see Programming sections D - I.

Due to the dynamic nature of the product design, the information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Viking Electronics, and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries assume no respon­sibility for errors and omissions contained in this information.

D. Accessing the Programming Mode

Step 1. Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position (sets unit to answer incoming calls - see section C).
Step 2. Move DIP switch 3 to ON (incoming calls automatically enter the programming mode - see section C).
Step 3. From a Touch Tone phone call the line attached to the

K-1500-EHFA.

Step 4. When the K-1500-EHFA answers, 2 beeps will be heard and you will automatically enter the programming mode.
Step 5. When finished programming, enter “0000” to exit programming and move DIP switch 3 back to OFF (see section C).

The K-1500-EHFA can be programmed from any Touch Tone phone using a telephone line, Viking model C-200 or C-
2000A Entry Phone Controller, analog PABX/KSU station or a Viking model DLE-200B Line Simulator.

This feature selects the maximum length of time that calls can be con­nected. Programmable in increments of 1 minute up to a maximum of 9
minutes. Programming nothing in the time value location will disable the
call length time out. With the call length disabled, the K-1500-EHFA
phone must rely on CPC, busy, silence or return dial tone to hang-up.
Use the chart at the right. * Note: The factory default is 5 minutes.

When the push button is pressed, the K-1500-EHFA phone goes off-hook, much like a standard speaker phone. In the
event that the line is busy, the K-1500-EHFA will hang-up. The K-1500-EHFA will also automatically hang up on CPC,
silence, busy signal, return to dial tone or time out. If programmed to auto-answer (DIP switch 1 ON), the K-1500-EHFA will
also answer any incoming call.
