FCC REQUIREMENTS:

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the back of this equipment is a

label that contains, among other information; the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer

Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. IF REQUESTED, THIS INFORMATION

MUST BE GIVEN TO THE TELEPHONE COMPANY.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you many connect to your telephone

line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but

not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed ve

(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by

the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN

for your calling area. If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the

telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you

in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notied as soon as possible. You

wilt be informed of your right to le a complaint with the FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in it’s facilities, equipment, operations,

or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do,

you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted

telephone service.

If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment please contact the manufacturer

for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that

you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected

or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. This equipment may not

be used on coin service lines provided by the telephone company. Connection to party

lines is subject to state tariffs.

Installation: This device is equipped with a USOC RJ-11C connector.

This tape was likely recorded using the Voice Controlled System (VCS).

VCS automatically starts and stops the recording when it detects

conversations. When the recorder starts it takes a fraction of a second for

the motor to respond. This slight delay can lead to the beginning of

the rst word being cut off. If possible use the Line Activation or Timer

Recording Modes. The sensitivity of the VCS is factory preset to a level

useful by most. However, it can be adjusted if necessary. (see the section

on adjusting VCS sensitivity).

Can I play tapes made on my recorder on other tape players?

You can play tapes that were recorded at normal speed on other tape

players. You will note a series of tones between recorded conversations.

These tones are the recorded telephone number and time/date data.

They will be ignored by other tape players and will not harm them. Tapes

recorded at extended recording speed will not be playable on other

players as the tape speed is not standard. If necessary, a recording made

with extended recording speed can be copied to another tape recorder

by connecting a “dubbing cable” (available at Radio Shack® and other

electronics stores) from the EAR output of the recorder to the microphone

or auxiliary input of a standard recorder.

What is the LINE VOLT set of switches for?

These switches are factory preset to match the line voltage for standard

telephone lines (-48 VDC) and should normally not be changed. The default

setting is switch #1=ON, Switch #2 and #3 OFF. They can be adjusted to

match alternative telephone line voltages for use with KSU or PBX systems.

Contact Technical Support for more information on this.

Background:

The Telephone Recorder is the result of our years of experience with

manufacturing telephone recording devices. We have attempted to bring to

the market the most sophisticated yet easy-to-use telephone recorder ever

produced. The unit preserves the basic functions of recording and listening

back to your telephone calls while adding exciting features like:

Time and Date Stamp: Using an internal clock, the P5090 will note the

time and date of each recorded telephone call. This data is stored on the

cassette and is displayed during tape playback. As the data is stored on

cassettes, the capacity is virtually unlimited.

Caller ID: With the use of Caller ID (Calling Line Identication (CLID)

services or CLASS® services) available from your local telephone

company, you can see the telephone number of the calling party. This

data is also stored on the cassette and will be displayed during playback.

Also, the Telephone Recorder can display the name of the calling party

(where available).

Inbound/Outbound Recording: You may select whether the P5090

records only inbound, outbound or both types of telephone calls.

Extended Recording Mode: Allows you more recording time per

cassette!

Flexible Interfacing: The P5090 is ready for connection to a variety

of single-line, multi-line, KSU and PBX applications using Line Voltage

Selection, Handset Adapter, and Voice Control System (VCS) features.

Flexible Recording Modes: Our new optional Timer Recording Modes

problem, ensure that you use high quality cassettes and maintain the tape

heads. If you suspect noise on the telephone line, make sure that your own

telephones or accessories are not causing the problem before contacting

your local telephone company.

What kind of tapes do I need to use?

Use high-quality name-brand “Normal Formulation” cassettes. The recorder

is not designed for use with Chrome or Metal formulation tapes. You may

use any length of tape up to C-120 (120 minutes). Be aware the C-120

cassettes have a thinner tape and are more subject to breakage that shorter

length cassettes. Use care when handling C-120 cassettes.

What happens when the tape ends?

The recorder features an automatic shut-off mechanism that will stop

the tape. There will be a slight click sound when the recorder turns off.

There will not be any noise on your telephone line when the recorder

turns off.

When I am recording I hear a “squealing sound”, what’s wrong?

This is feedback. If you have the MONITOR switch in the Low (L) or High (H)

position while recording and the telephone that you are using is too close to

the recorder, you will experience feedback. Either move the telephone away

from the recorder or switch the MONITOR switch Off (O).

All of my recordings are ending after 3 minutes, what’s wrong?

You have the Timer Recording Mode (T) selected. Turn the REC MODE

switch on the rear panel to Line Activation (L) mode. The Timer Recording

Mode will cut off recordings after N (N=1-9) minutes. This is by design. See

the section on the Timer Recording Mode for more information.

When I play back the tape, the voice sounds funny, why?

If the voice sounds like a cartoon (either too high or too low in pitch), then

you likely have the wrong speed selected for that specic recording. Switch

the SPEED switch on the rear panel to the other speed. If this does not

help then check that the tape heads are clean (see section on tape head

maintenance), If this does not work, replace the cassette.

When I play back the tape, the beginning of some words are cut

off, why?

-3- -12-

allow you to record just the rst few minutes of each phone call. Enough to

identify the called or calling party and the subject of the conversation. As

the entire conversation is not recorded, you can t many more telephone

calls on each cassette. Over 300 calls per cassette! (using both sides of a

C-120 cassette using Extended Recording Mode and VCS)

Stand-alone Caller ID Mode: When not being utilized as a recorder,

use the P5090 as a stand alone Caller ID display. Stores up to 100 calls

in memory for later review.

Installation:

A clear plastic sheet covers the window in the Cassette Door (2). This

is for protection of the window during production and transport. You may

remove and discard this sheet if you wish.

Connection to power:

You may provide power to the Telephone Recorder with the use of AA

batteries or the included AC adapter. We recommend use of the adapter

whenever an AC outlet is convenient to ensure continuous operation

of the unit.

To install batteries: Turn the unit over. Remove the battery compartment

cover. Insert 4 AA (UM-3) batteries following the polarity diagram. Replace

the battery compartment cover. We recommend the use of Alkaline or

Lithium batteries for best performance. If batteries will not be used for an

extended period, remove them from the battery compartment to prevent

leakage. Please dispose of exhausted batteries correctly.

To connect AC adapter: Plug the DC power jack into the socket labeled

PWR (13) on the rear of the unit. Connect the AC adapter to a 110 VAC

wall outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet has continuous power and is not

turned off by a wall switch.

Connection to Telephone Line:

If you have an unused telephone outlet available to connect the Telephone

Recorder, you may skip the following paragraph.

Choose the telephone outlet in your home or ofce where you wish to

connect the Telephone Recorder. Disconnect the existing telephone cable

from the telephone outlet. Plug the supplied duplex adapter into the

telephone outlet. Re-connect the existing telephone cable to one of the two

outlets in the duplex adapter. Use the other outlet for the connection to the

Telephone Recorder. The unit will record calls for all telephones connected

to the same phone line throughout your home or ofce.

Connect the supplied telephone cable into the telephone outlet. Connect

purchase a Telephone Recorder for each line.

You may be able to connect the Telephone Recorder to your desktop

phone if your phone system is analog (not digital). This would involve

using the VCS mode or an alternative setting on the LINE VOLT switches

(15). Contact Technical Support for more information on this. Connection

to your desktop phone may be possible with an adapter provided

by the manufacturer of your telephone system. Contact the system’s

manufacturer or installer to determine if such an adapter is available. The

adapter is called a “standard single-line adapter”. Note that congurations

of these adapters may vary. Check with your supplier to ensure compat-

ibility. Contact Technical Support for more information on interfacing the

recorder.

I’m not seeing the telephone number of the calling party on the

LCD, why?

In order to receive the telephone number of the calling party, you must

have Caller ID service. Check with your local telephone company regarding

availablity and cost. If you already have the service, be aware that the

Caller ID information is sent through your telephone line between the rst

and the second rings. If you answer the telephone before this information

is sent completely, the recorder will not be able to display the information.

Wait until the second ring begins before answering the telephone. Also,

not all incoming calls will arrive with Caller ID data. This is due to the local

and/or long distance telephone companies that are carrying the incoming

call and is beyond you and your telephone company’s control. Also Caller

ID information is not available when using VCS mode.

How do I see the name of the calling party on my LCD?

The name of the calling party will not display in the LCD when the call

arrives. The name is only available upon review of the Caller ID information.

See the section on Caller ID Review for more information.

When I play back the tape, the numbers displayed on the LCD are

missing digits, what’s wrong?

This can be due to a variety of factors. The telephone number and time/date

data is stored on the cassette as a series of tones. Every time you play

back the tape, these tones are decoded by the recorder for display. If

the tones are distorted, the recorder will not be able to display the data

properly. Distortion can be caused by noise on the telephone line, a

poor quality cassette tape, dirty tape heads (see section on tape head

maintenance), or poor connections to the telephone line. To correct the

the other end of the supplied cable to the LINE IN connector (14) on

the Telephone Recorder.

Reset:

A microprocessor reset button is located on the bottom of the unit.

The unit must be reset after installation. Push the button with a small

screwdriver or pen.

Rear Panel (please refer to diagram):

There are several controls and connectors on the rear of the unit. The

controls are used to select various operating modes and features of the

Telephone Recorder. The default for each switch control is the left position.

In most cases the switches may remain in the default position. If you need

to change the position of a switch a small screwdriver or a pencil may be

used to move the switch. A brief list of the controls and connectors and

their functions follows. More details on these features may be found in the

appropriate section of this manual.

REC MODE (7): may be set to Line Activation (L), Timer Recording Mode

(T), or Voice Controlled System -VCS (V).

MONITOR (8): Used to switch monitor off or to low or high volume mode.

Monitor allows you to listen to telephone calls as they are recorded.

CID (9): Default is OFF position. Should only be turned on if unit will not be

used as a voice recorder and only Caller ID functions are required.

SPEED (10): Selects Normal Mode or Extended Recording Mode. Normal

Mode runs the cassette tape at standard speed. Extended Recording

Mode will provide more recording time per cassette tape.

SOURCE (11): Switches between telephone recorder and internal

microphone record mode.

EAR (12): for external earphone.

PWR (13): Connect to included AC Power Adapter

LINE IN (14): Connect to phone line.

LINE VOLT (15): This series of small switches is used to adjust the

Telephone Recorder for use with different telephone line voltages. The unit

comes factory set for use with -48 VDC telephone lines (Switch #1=ON,

#2,#3=OFF. This is the correct setting for most installations. The other

settings are for non-standard telephone connections. Please contact

Technical Support for more details.

Setup:

Setup and operation of the Telephone Recorder Time and Date Stamp,

Caller ID, and Timer Recording Mode is accomplished using the 4 Control

Keys (4) located under the LCD display (1).

The control keys will be referred to as North (N), South (S), East (E), and

The LCD is functioning but none of the tape transport keys (REC, FF,

etc.) are working, what’s wrong?

Make sure the unit is not in Stand Alone Caller ID mode. Move the CID

switch on the rear panel to OFF.

I don’t see any keys labeled North, South, East, or West, where

are they?

North, South, East, and West refer to the 4 control keys arranged in

a diamond pattern below the LCD display. They do not have labels as

they are multi-functional keys. See the above diagram to determine

which key is which.

Do I have to connect the recorder to the telephone that I wish to

record?

No, you can connect the recorder to any available telephone jack. The

recorder will record calls made on all telephone extensions connected

to the same phone line. If you wish to record only certain calls, install

the recorder next to the telephone that you will be using so that you may

switch the recorder on and off.

Can I use my recorder with two phone lines?

The recording is a single line device and can only record from one phone

line at a time. It can be connected to multi-line (KSU or PBX) systems

for use with multiple telephone lines (see note below). However, two line

systems and two line phones require that you either manually reconnect

the recorder between line 1 and line 2 or purchase a switch that will

select between line 1 and line 2. Contact Technical Support for more

information on this.

How do I connect the recorder to my multi-line (KSU or PBX)

telephone system?

The answer varies as these systems feature different architectures. You

may connect the Telephone Recorder to an “outside line” before the line

connects to your telephone system switchbox. At this point the telephone

line is the same as a standard single line as you would nd in your home.

If a phone jack is not available, have your telephone system installer

install one. Note that this conguration would record calls on only one line

at a time. The Telephone Recorder would not record calls on the outside

lines that the unit is not connected to. For complete recordings of all lines,

Tape Transport Controls (3):

The Telephone Recorder features familiar keys for operation of the

tape deck. RECORD, PLAY, REWIND, FAST FORWARD, STOP/EJECT,

and PAUSE.

RECORD : Starts record mode. Note that PLAY key will also depress

when RECORD is pressed.

PLAY: Starts tape playback.

REWIND: Rewinds tape for review of recordings.

FORWARD: Winds tape forward to nd desired recording.

STOP/EJECT: Will stop tape when pressed. Also will open Cassette Door

(2) for removal/replacement of cassette.

PAUSE: Temporarily stops tape transport during PLAY or RECORD

mode. Do not leave PAUSE engaged for extended periods or damage

to tape may occur.

Recording:

The Telephone Recorder features 3 different recording modes; Line

Activation Mode, Voice Control System (VCS) Mode, Timer Recording

Mode.

Rather, the recorder will record based on the presence of an audio signal.

This mode is recommended only for use with non-standard telephone

lines (e.g. KSU or PBX analog lines). Connect the recorder to the voice

path and select VCS from the rear panel. When you press the Record key,

REC. VCS will display in the LCD. The tape will record for a few moments

(even though the phone line is inactive) and then stop. If you use the VCS

mode during a phone call, and there is an extended moment of silence,

(e.g. being placed on hold) the tape will stop recording. At this moment, a

Time and Date Stamp will be placed in the cassette and the call counter

will increment. During playback, this intermediate Time and Date Stamp

will be displayed during the conversation. Note Caller ID functions are

unavailable in VCS mode.

VCS Sensitivity:

The sensitivity of the VCS system is preset at the factory. If however,

you are nding that the Telephone Recorder is not sensitive enough and

it does not record portions of your conversation, the sensitivity can be

adjusted. The sensitivity setting is found on the bottom of the unit. Using a

small screwdriver you can rotate the control and adjust it accordingly. If the

VCS sensitivity is set too high, the recorder will continue to record during

silent periods. If this occurs reduce the sensitivity.

Timer Recording Mode:

This new mode is similar to the Line Activation mode except that only

the rst N minutes of every call is recorded (where N = 1 through 9). This

mode is handy for when you need a record of telephone calls including

who was spoken to but wish to conserve tape. Using this mode you can

record call details on over 150 phone calls per side of a C120 cassette!

(using VCS mode and extended recording mode). All instructions for

the Line Activation mode apply to the Timer Recording mode. The only

difference is that the recording will be cut-off for all calls after N minutes

have elapsed. All call data is still written to the cassette.

Tape Head Maintenance:

Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the tape head surfaces,

pinch roller (black rubber roller) and capstan (metal spindle) once every

three months. Commercial tape path cleaners may also be used.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I installed my recorder but the LCD is blank and nothing is working,

what’s wrong?

Make sure the unit is receiving power. Check the installation instructions

above. Press the RESET button on the bottom of the unit.

Line Activation Mode is set as the default from the factory and is used in

most applications. See sections below on VCS Mode and Timer Recording

Mode for more details.

Press the STOP/EJECT key to open cassette door. Insert cassette. Close

cassette door. To record telephone calls press RECORD tape transport

key. Display should show REC. LINE and icons indicating the In/Out record

mode (i.e. IN for inbound). Place a call. Display should display digits as

they are dialed. During conversation, dialed digits will continue to be

displayed. Adjust monitor switch if you wish to listen to the telephone

conversation during recording. The speaker will feedback if the monitor is

left on and the handset is brought too close to the unit during recording.

When call is completed, hang up. Tape will continue for a moment as

data is written to the cassette.

When recording inbound telephone calls, the telephone icon will illuminate

in lower right corner of the LCD display to indicate an incoming call. If the

telephone line has caller ID service, the telephone number associated with

the incoming call will be displayed in the LCD display between the rst

and the second ring. Also, the time and the date as sent by the telephone

company along with the caller ID info will be displayed. If no telephone

number data is available, INCOMING CALL will be displayed. Answer call.

The recorder will begin recording when the telephone is answered. Adjust

monitor accordingly. Hang up. Tape will continue for a moment as data is

written to the cassette. NOTE: Time and date as sent by the telephone

company is recorded as the time Stamp for incoming calls, not the time

and date as programmed into the unit.

IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT CONVERSA-

TIONS ARE ONLY RECORDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF

THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS UTILIZED.

Playback:

The Telephone Recorder can also play back recordings you have made

of telephone calls. Data stored on the cassette such as Time and Date

Stamp, Caller ID info and Dialed Numbers will be displayed on the LCD

during playback. You may playback cassettes recorded on the Telephone

Recorder on other tape players. However, as other tape players do not

feature the LCD, you will not have access to the recorded data. Also,

you will hear the data tones between recordings. This is normal and will

not damage the tape player. If recordings are made using the Extended

Recording Mode, you will not be able to playback these recordings on

other tape players. Since the recording speed is different, the playback will

be distorted. You may only playback recordings made using the Extended

Recording Mode using the Telephone Recorder.

Press the STOP/EJECT key to open cassette door. Insert cassette. Close

cassette door. Rewind cassette and push PLAY. Adjust volume control

to desired level. For recorded incoming calls, the conversation will be

played back. If the recorded call was made on a caller-ID enabled line and

the telephone company sent caller ID info with the call, at the end of the

recorded conversation, you will hear a series of touchtones. The telephone

number of the calling party will be displayed on the LCD display. Also, the

Time and Date Stamp of the recording will be displayed as well as the IN

icon. You may fast-forward, rewind, and pause the tape as you would a

normal tape player. NOTE: If the tape is paused during the middle of the

touchtone sequence, the display may be corrupted. Simply rewind and

replay the data section for a clear display. When listening to recorded

outgoing calls, the dialed number will be displayed in the LCD as the

tape plays back the dialing sequence. The Time and Date Stamp for the

recording in question will be displayed at the end of the conversation along

with the OUT icon. NOTE: As most cassettes contain a few seconds worth

of leader tape at the beginning, any dialing information or conversation will

be lost if you attempt to use this portion of the tape. Use leaderless tape or

advance the tape past the leader if you wish to avoid this problem.

Caller ID Review:

When unit is in STAND BY mode (no tape transport keys pressed), Press S

key to review Caller ID information. The last incoming call will be displayed

on the LCD. The time, date, incoming number, call count, line, and IN

icon will be displayed. If the up arrow (upper right hand corner of LCD) is

displayed, then Caller ID Name information has been captured. Press the

N key to display the Caller ID Name associated with the incoming number.

Press the N key repeatedly to display the remainder of the incoming

name (if applicable) press the N key again to return to the number

display. If no telephone number data is available, INCOMING CALL will be

displayed. Press the E and the W keys to cycle through the stored

Caller ID information. To erase all Caller ID information, when unit is in

STAND BY mode (no tape transport keys pressed), Press N key, unit

will request confirmation, Press S key. Unit will confirm RAM erase.

Use when RAM FULL.

NOTE: Caller ID name information is not stored on the cassette. If you

wish to retrieve the name information after listening back to a conversation,

make note of the captured Caller ID number information associated with

the call in question and using the above instructions for Caller ID review

match the number and name.

Voice Control System (VCS):

The Voice Control System mode (VCS) is different from line activation in

that the recorder ignores the DC voltage available on the telephone line.
