B. Volume Adjustments

1. Microphone

Certain noisy locations (background traffic, machinery or wind) may cause one way talk path (only microphone audio is heard). In this case, the microphone volume may need to be decreased as shown.

2. Speaker

To increase, decrease or turn off the speaker (for monitoring purposes only), adjust the speaker volume control as shown.

C. Auto-Answer Feature (DIP Switch 7)

With DIP switch 7 in the "ON" position (default), the K-1700-3 will automatically answer the line during the first incoming ring. This feature is useful for monitoring entrances. In the "OFF" position, the K-1770-3 will not automatically answer incoming calls.

D. Push Button Hang Up (DIP Switch 8)

With DIP switch 8 in the "ON" position (default), the "Call" button alternately connects and disconnects calls. In the "OFF" position, the "Call" button is only used to connect and the K-1770-3 must rely on call progress (busy, return to dial tone, silence time-out, or maximum call time) for an automatic disconnect.

E. VOX (Talk/Listen) Switching Speed (DIP Switch 4)

With DIP switch 4 in the "OFF" position (default), the VOX switching speed (delay time between talk and listen mode) is set to fast (0.2 seconds). In the "ON" position, it is set to slow (0.7 seconds).

F. Advanced Call Progress Detection

The K-1770-3 will output 3 beeps and automatically hang-up after detecting any of the following: busy signal (standard or fast/reorder), CPC (short break in line current when called party hangs up), return to dial tone, maximum call time or silence time out.

Operation

When the push button is pressed, the K-1770-3 phone goes off-hook, much like a standard speaker phone. The keypad may then be used to dial any number. In the event that the line is busy, the K-1770-3 will hang-up. The K-1770-3 will also automatically hang up on CPC, silence, busy signal, return to dial tone or time out. If programmed to auto-answer (DIP switch 7 ON), the K-1770-3 will also answer any incoming call.

Applications

A. C-500 Advanced Two Door/Gate Entry Phone Controller with Call Forwarding

The C-500 allows up to 2 entry phones (expandable to 8 entry phones, see DOD 177) to call into your existing residential or business phones or phone system. Tenants may answer the call, converse with the visitor and activate a contact closure to control electronic gates or door strikes. The C-500 provides user programmable entry phone, "Caller ID," and "Call Waiting" tone when the phone line is in use. The C-500 also has built in five number dialer to call your cell phone or an outside line if there is no answer on the inside phone. If the outside call is busy or ring no anwser, the C-500 can call up to four more numbers. Tenants may gain entry at each gate by entering a Touch Tone keyless entry code. Tenants may call out to each entry phone for monitoring purposes. An auxiliary input is also available for connecting a common garage door opener/receiver and auxiliary keyless entry keypads.
