Cordless Telephone
Doesnt ringSPIRIT customized ringing and line-use options*
Receiver out of range
Low batteries in cordless phone
Ringing switch on cordless phone not on
Cant return to OFF modeRe-extend antenna then return phone to OFF
mode before collapsing antenna
Move closer to the cordless base station (conver-
sation range may be greater than on/off range)
Calls are noisy or have staticCordless telephones are subject to the same
interferences when connected via the ConnecT/R
as when connected to a normal telephone line.
Poor call quality can be improved by moving
toward the base station. You may be able to
improve the general transmission quality by
moving the location of the cordless base station
or by changing the electrical outlets used by the
base. Environments with large amounts of metal
in the building structure will generally limit the
use of cordless phones.
Make sure the ConnecT/Rs transformer is at
least three feet from the controller.
* Check with the person in your organization responsible for the SPIRIT System.

Operational DifficultyWhat to Check
Ring pattern not the same as SPIRIT TelephoneThis is common; there is nothing wrong.
Range is short.Move the base to a more central location.
Wall mount the base unit (elevating it may
increase its range).
Be sure the base unit is at least three feet from
metal structures or objects.
Locate the base at least six feet from electromag-
netic sources or microprocessor equipment.
If the receiver is used outside, locate the base
station near a window.

Doesnt answer calls when SPIRIT Telephone in useThis is normal. The SPIRIT Telephone and the
telephone device share a connection. If the
SPIRIT Telephone is being used for an intercom
or telephone conversation, the telephone device
cannot answer other calls that may be ringing.
* Check with the person in your organization responsible for the SPIRIT System. 
						

							Operational DifficultyWhat to Check
Messages consist of dial tone onlyThis can occur if the calling party hangs up
without leaving a message and the answer/
record machine requires a signal from the
Central Office before terminating the recording
process. If the machine has a voice activation
(VOX) setting, switching to VOX will often
prevent the problem.

Note the following cabling requirements before
connecting the equipment. If these limits (which
are the same ones that apply to our current
SPIRIT System) are exceeded, the ConnecT/R
may not work properly.
The total wiring length from the controller to
the SPIRIT Telephone cannot exceed a total
of 1000 feet of 24-gauge DIW (twisted-pair
copper) wire or 22-gauge D station wire,
plus 25 feet of 4-wire line cord.
The total wire length from the controller to
the telephone device cannot exceed a total of
1000 feet of 24-gauge DIW (twisted-pair
copper) wire or 22-gauge D station wire,
plus 25 feet of 4-wire line cord.
If the ConnecT/R is installed outside the
building where the controller is located, or
away from the building where the attached
SPIRIT Telephone is located (using exposed
wiring), In-Range/ Out-of-Building protec-
tors (IROB TII Model 371 or ITW Model
SP69073, AT&T order number 31304) must
be installed by a qualified technician.
Contact your AT&T representative for
additional information.
If the telephone device will be in a building
other than where the ConnecT/R is located,
a Block Protector must be installed by a
qualified technician (one Block Protector for
each remote telephone device). Order an
AT&T Model 4C1S (comcode 104386545).
In addition, you will need a Building
Entrance Protector, which can house up to
six 4C1S Block Protectors. Order Model
110ANA1-06 (comcode 105736482). Contact
your AT&T representative for additional
information.
