Notes: 1. A run is a line of one or more speakers that connects directly to PagePac 6. If using both horns and
standard speakers, each horn counts as four standard speakers.
In some situations you may be able to extend a run farther than 100 feet, by using fewer speakers and/or
larger diameter wire.

Figure 6. Connections Using an External Music Source
Those who use paging systems to rebroadcast copyrighted music are required to obtain licenses
from and pay fees to copyright owners. This usually involves obtaining licenses and paying fees to
either ASCAP and/or BMI (American Society of Composers, Artists and Producers, Broadcast
Music Inc.). It is the user's obligation to obtain any license required and pay any fees.
Whenever possible, the PagePac 6 paging system should be plugged into the same AC power
receptacle as the voice system.
OPERATION
Paging procedures differ depending on the requirements of your telephone system and how it is
connected to PagePac 6. If your system is connected using a PagePac®6 Port Saver, pay
particular attention to the pertinent instruction section below.
PAGING WHEN CONNECTED THROUGH A PAGE PORT OR A PAGEPAC®
TRUNK ADAPTER
The exact procedure for paging on your particular telephone system is explained in the user's
manual that accompanies the telephone system. In general, though, the steps are as follows:
1. Access the paging function as required by your telephone system. If PagePac 6 is connected
through a page port, you will probably push a button or dial a code to access the function. If
PagePac 6 is connected through a PagePac Trunk Adapter, you will follow your telephone
system’s requirements for accessing the line reserved for paging.
2. Make the page.
3. Replace the telephone handset gently (remember you are still connected to the loudspeaker).
This will prevent loud noises from being heard over the paging system.
ADJUSTING PAGE AND MUSIC VOLUME
Volume controls on the rear of PagePac 6 allow you to adjust the volume of paging and
background music independently.
To adjust paging volume, turn the PAGE VOL control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease volume.

8
To adjust background music volume, turn the MUSIC VOL control clockwise to increase or
counterclockwise to decrease volume. If you do not use background music, turn the MUSIC VOL
control fully counterclockwise.
Note: PAGE VOL should be adjusted first, then MUSIC VOL.
MAINTENANCE
The PagePac 6 contains no user-serviceable parts, and should be repaired only by authorized
personnel. There are several types of installation and maintenance plans available from Valcom or
your dealer. For information or warranty service, call your Valcom sales representative or
authorized dealer.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
If your paging system fails to operate properly, follow the suggestions in the “Trouble Analysis
Table” (see Table 3) before calling for professional assistance.
Table 3. Trouble Analysis Table
Problems Corrective Action
Check volume control on problem speaker(s).
Check all connections to speakers.
Replace inoperative speaker with good one. If speaker cannot be replaced
immediately, wire around it to ensure service to the remaining speakers.
No sound from one or more
speakers while others work.
Note: Look for a mix of voice coil and 70 Volt speakers. Replace all
70Volt speakers with voice coil type. Refer to Table 2-1.
Ensure that the power supply is plugged in and that the outlet has power.
Check the volume controls on the rear of PagePac 6.
Check the speaker connections.
Isolate the source of the problem using a test set.
NOTE: Look for a mix of voice coil ad 70Volt speakers. Replace all 70Volt
speakers with voice type. Refer to Table 2-1.
If Connected Using a Trunk Adapter.
1. Disconnect the Trunk Adapter from line jack.
2. Connect a 2500-Type telephone to Trunk Adapter jack J2.
Paging and music do not
work. Or, music works but
paging does not.
3. If the PagePac 6 is working, you will be able to page using the
telephone. Music should also work and be switched out during a
page.
Paging and music are
garbled.
Check speaker wire for shorts. Look for staples driven through wire. Check all
connections.
Paging works, but music
does not.
Ensure music source has power. Adjust PagePac 6 MUSIC VOL control.
Adjust volume control on music source. Tune music source to strong station.
Check all connections.
If, for any reason, you need to know the pinouts for the modular jacks on the PagePac 6, pinout
information is given in Tables 4.

FCC REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THIS EQUIPMENT
FCC (PART 15)
Radio Frequency Interference
The PagePac 6 generates and uses radio-frequency energy and if not installed and used in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception. Testing has been conducted for compliance with the limits for a Class B device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This testing is
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the PagePac unit
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
• Relocate the PagePac with respect to the radio or TV receiver or vice-versa
• Plug the PagePac 6 into a different outlet so that it and the radio or TV receiver are on different
branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems,” helpful. This booklet was prepared by the Federal Government
printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock order No. 004-000-00345-4.

FCC (PART 68)
This equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in accordance
with Part 68 of its Rules. The FCC requires that the manufacturer provide you with the following
information:
1. Connection and Use with Nationwide Telephone Network
The FCC requires that you connect your telephone equipment to the nationwide telephone network
through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which the
equipment must be connected is a USOC RJ-11C.
Registered equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines. Equipment may be used with
Party Lines in areas where state tariffs permit such connections and when equipment is adaptable
for such use.
2. Information You May Need to Supply the Telephone Company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following
information.
A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone equipment.
Note: In Canada, the Document Registration Number appears on the maple-leaf label and
the Load Number is under the maple-leaf label.
B. The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). Both numbers are
listed on the equipment label. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone lines is called.
In most, but not all, areas, the sum of all RENs per line should be 5 or less. You may want
to contact your local telephone company. The local telephone company must also be
notified upon final disconnection of the equipment from the local telephone company lines.
CSA REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THIS EQUIPMENT
This product is UL Listed and CSA Certified.
NOTICE:
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the

acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a
single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly
(telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
