the MOH Jack of the PBX.
Use an EIAJ RC-6701 A plug (2-conductor, 3.5 mm [1/8 in] in diameter).
 Input impedance: 8 Ω
CAUTION
 Do not force audio cables into the jacks. Doing so may damage the connections and cause 
the audio to cut in and out.
 The MOH port is an SELV port and should only be connected to an approved SELV device.
Notes
 Use the supplied audio source connector in the event that the user-supplied audio cable 
connector is too long and does not fit when the top front cover of the PBX is closed. Remove 
the connector from the user-supplied audio cable, expose the bare cable, and attach the 
supplied audio source connector. 
 When the PBX and external audio source are not connected to the same ground, a humming 
noise may be heard in the BGM and MOH.
 The audio source used for BGM and MOH is determined by system programming.
 To adjust the sound level of the MOH, use the volume control on the external audio source.

Pager
Only 1 paging device (user-supplied) can be connected to the PBX.
Use an EIAJ RC-6701 A plug (2-conductor, 3.5 mm [1/8 in] in diameter).
 Output impedance: 600 Ω
CAUTION
The External Paging Jack is an SELV port and should only be connected to an approved SELV 
device.
Notes
 Use the supplied pager connector in the event that the user-supplied pager cable connector 
is too long and does not fit when the top front cover of the PBX is closed. Remove the 
connector from the user-supplied pager cable, expose the bare cable, and attach the 
supplied pager connector.
 To adjust the sound level of the pager, use the volume control on the loudspeaker or 
amplifier.

RS-232C Signals
Receive Data (RXD):…(input)
Carries signals from the printer or the PC to the PBX.
Transmit Data (TXD):…(output)
Carries signals from the PBX to the printer or the PC. Stays in Mark status unless data or 
BREAK signals are being transmitted.
Data Terminal Ready (DTR):…(output)
This signal line is turned ON by the PBX to indicate that it is ON LINE. Circuit ER (DTR) ON 
does not indicate that communication has been established with the printer or the PC. It is 
switched OFF when the PBX is OFF LINE.
Signal Ground (SG)
Connects to the DC ground of the PBX for all interface signals.
Data Set Ready (DSR):…(input)
An ON condition of circuit DR (DSR) indicates that the printer or the PC is ready. Circuit DR 
(DSR) ON does not indicate that communication has been established with the printer or the 
PC.
Request To Send (RTS):…(output)
This is held ON whenever DR (DSR) is ON.
Clear To Send (CTS):…(input)
An ON condition of circuit CS (CTS) indicates that the printer or the PC is ready to receive 
data from the PBX. The PBX does not attempt to transfer data or receive data when circuit 
CS (CTS) is OFF. 
Frame Ground (FG)
Connects to the unit frame and the ground conductor of the AC cord.
Data Carrier Detect (DCD):…(input)
An ON condition of circuit CD (DCD) indicates the data terminal (DTE) that the carrier signal 
is being received by.

							2.9 Power Failure Connections
68 Installation Manual
2.9 Power Failure Connections
2.9.1 Power Failure Connections
When the power supply to the PBX fails, power failure transfer will switch from the current connection 
to the Power Failure Connections.
Power Failure Connections connect a specific extension and an outside (CO) line in the event of 
power failure as follows:
Outside (CO) line 1—extension (T, R) jack 01
Outside (CO) line 4—extension (T, R) jack 09
Outside (CO) line 7—extension (T, R) jack 17
Notes
 In the event of a power failure, system memory is protected by a factory-provided lithium 
battery. No system data will be lost, except for the Camp-on, Saved Number Redial, Last 
Number Redial and Call Park data.
 The current connection automatically switches to the Power Failure Connection when the 
power supply stops.
 Proprietary telephones (PTs) cannot be used during a power failure. Therefore, we 
recommend connecting single line telephones (SLTs) in parallel with PTs to extension jacks 
01, 09, and 17.
Note that if the paralleled SLT is on an outside (CO) line call when the power is restored, that 
call will be disconnected.

CAUTION
DANGER OF EXPLOSION EXISTS IF THE BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. 
REPLACE THE BATTERY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY 
THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE 
MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.
