INSTALLATION NOTES
Required Lines
The MovieTimeS does not require phones to be attached to the PHONE connectors for operation. The
MovieTimeS does require a working phone line to be attached to the TELCO connector in order to seize
control from the associated PHONE connector.
Line(s) to be Answered
The MovieTimeS can handle two telephone lines. The MovieTimeS can only answer the line (or lines)
that it is attached to, additional phone lines must bypass the MovieTimeS and ring straight through to
other instruments.
Hunt Groups
Hunt groups are a set of lines that all answer to the same number, if the first number in the group is busy
the next call rings in on the next line in the group. This service is arranged through the phone company.
If installing the MovieTimeS on lines arranged in a hunt group, be sure to place the unit on the first two
incoming lines. Be aware that the MovieTimeS can only handle two calls simultaneously. If placed in a
hunt group with more lines than the two lines the MovieTimeS can handle, the additional calls bypass the
MovieTimeS and ring straight through to other telephones. You may install additional MovieTimeS
machines for each two lines in the hunt group.
RJ-11 Wiring
The MovieTimeS uses only the inner pair of conductors on its RJ-11 jacks, and does not pass the outer
pair between the Telco and Phone jacks.
Hook Flash Transfers
Some installations may use services such as CENTREX or CALL WAITING that rely on a Hook Flash
signal being sent to the Central Office. The MovieTimeS is not compatible with these services and will
interfere with the Hook Flash signal.
CPC
The MovieTimeS is designed to use the Calling P
arty Control signal sent from the Central Office to
sense when the caller has hung up the phone. Not all Central Offices support CPC signaling. If the
MovieTimeS does not receive the CPC signal it may take as long as 90 seconds after message play is
complete to return to normal operation and calls also ring through even if the calling party has hung up
during the message or transfer.
REN
The MovieTimeS supports an outgoing Ringer E
quivalence Number of 5. To identify the REN
requirements of your installation look for the REN number listed on each device installed on the line after
the MovieTimeS. Add these values together and confirm that the total is less then 5. For example the
REN of the MovieTimeS is 0.6. If you add a telephone to the same line with an REN of 0.5, the total is a
REN of 1.1. Never add instruments to the line that exceed 5 or the telephone company will get upset with
the heavy load on their line.
