[. . . ] If Caller ID numbers are not displayed, confirm with your telephone company that your phone lines have the Caller ID feature enabled. Otherwise, there will not be caller phone numbers recorded and displayed when managing the recordings. If you are connected to telephone handset audio, the recorder will not show caller numbers and will only show dialed out numbers if the handset has standard DTMF tones when dialing. Also check to be sure phone line channels are set for voltage sensing, not for VAR start/stop. If Caller ID service is provided on the phone line, always wait to answer a call until after the second ring so that the phone number from the calling party can be received and stored with the recording. When channels are set to start and stop recording using voltage sensing, outgoing calls will not be saved unless they are longer than 8 seconds and contain a minimum of 3 dialed digits (DTMF tones). This feature minimizes false recordings and does not apply when using Voice Activated Recording (VAR). Setting for Phone Line or Voice Activated Recording (VAR) When you first connect a new TeleCorder, default settings for all channels will be for Voice Activated Recording (VAR). Channels connected to phone lines should have their start/stop mode changed to the voltage sensing start/stop mode. In this mode, instead of monitoring audio levels, the recorder will monitor for DC voltages on the selected inputs to indicate on-hook and off-hook status. The phone line voltage is high when the circuit is not in use and will drop to a lower voltage when it is being used. Turn-Off-Delay: If any channels have VAR selected for recording start/stop, also select one of the four turn-off-delay options (VAR Turn Off Delay); 4, 12, 32 or 100 seconds. This setting will help to prevent recordings from ending during quiet periods. If set to 12 seconds, a recording will stop after 12 seconds of silence. VAR TimeOut: If any channels have VAR selected for start/stop, set the TimeOut to one of the four choices; 20, 40, 60 or 120 minutes. This setting will limit the maximum length of a recording for easier management of long conversations or for when recording from broadcast radio where pauses may not be long enough to separate individual recordings using VAR for start/stop. If a recording reaches the maximum length of time that you select for VAR TimeOut, that recording will end, and a new recording on that channel will begin. It does not limit length of recordings when using voltage sensing for start/stop. Time and Date Setting: Date and time are supplied by the clock in your PC. Audio Recording Modes: From this sub-button you can set the quality of recordings. Caller ID Detection Settings: From this sub-button you can set (turn on/off) the Caller ID detection features. Pre-Ring DTMF Detection: If the local Caller ID mode is DTMF and sent before the ring, you must turn this feature on. [. . . ] With its ON/OFF switch in the OFF position the output RJ-11 jack is disconnected from the input RJ-11 jack. The TSB-6 includes a six foot phone cable terminating in an RJ-11 plug. T-18 -- Telephone Line Cable with "T" Adapter This multi-purpose cable assembly can be used to connect between two RJ-11 (single line) or RJ-14 (two line) phone jacks. The "T" adapter is used when you do not have an extra jack for the cable connection. It will convert a single phone jack into two parallel jacks. T25-EXT -- Twenty-Five Foot Phone Line Extension Cable Provides a 25' extension for standard RJ-11 or RJ-14 phone cables with a modular plug on one end and a modular jack on the other end. [. . . ]
