INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The MovieTimeS is an advanced digital call screening and messaging system designed to answer calls with an
informative greeting, then let the callers select any number of the additional pre-recorded messages.
The MovieTimeS is a two-line unit capable of handling two calls simultaneously.
Message recording and system programming functions are accessed locally or remotely by a standard touch-
tone telephone.
Additional standard system features include:
•Simple to use programming interface through touch tone phones
•4 Easy access messages from the main menu
•Up to 24 additional messages from a
movie selection menu
•Employee ring-through option, with pass code ring-through to a telephone instrument connected to the
MovieTimeS machine.
•Flash Memory will not be erased by power failures or unplugging the product.
•Message times in each box are variable. A short message will terminate at the end of the message and
will not use the entire time-space that may be available. This avoids long periods of silence.

the current movies and a number to select. After each message the caller is returned to the Greeting

The MovieTimeS digital announcer will work only with a touch tone telephone. Callers using a pulse-type
(rotary dial) phone will not be able to access the message boxes. You may wish to ask these callers to
use a special phone number to your cinema.
Please see our suggestions for recording messages on Page 14.
You must know the secret password in order to enter the recording, delete, and review
modes. We suggest you give this password only to the staff members that use this
machine. Since the MovieTimeS can be programmed remotely, we suggest you change
the password when a person leaves your staff.
The MovieTimeS answering system works only with a touch tone phone. You may wish to tell
callers on the opening greeting message to call another number if they have a rotary (pulse)

INSTALLATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Install the MovieTimeS in close proximity to the telephone line which the unit is to answer and within 6’ of a
117VAC wall outlet. The MovieTimeS is designed to mount on a wall, shelf or other flat surface. When
mounting the unit, be sure to leave clearance at the rear of the unit for connection accessibility.
STANDARD INSTALLATION
Install the MovieTimeS directly on the incoming telephone line at a point before the line is split into multiple
extension lines. If you fail to do so, all of the extension phones ring each incoming call and only calls received
by the unit are transferred to the phone attached directly to the unit. If you cannot locate the point at which your
telephone line is split into extensions or if you are unable to tap into the line at this point, contact your telephone
company.

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 Party 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 Equivalence 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.

10
LIGHTS & INDICATORS
The MovieTimeS front panel has a multicolored Mode LED and a green Line LED for each available line.
MODE LED
The Mode LED normally flashes green to indicate normal operation. The Mode LED also flashes amber as the
MovieTimeS processes commands.
In the event of a system failure, the mode LED flashes red.
LINE LEDs
The Line LEDs will show green whenever the MovieTimeS is in control of the line in command mode.
The FACTORY jack on the back of the MovieTimeS must not be used by customer. This jack
is used by the factory to load instructions to the internal computer. If program upgrades are
available in the future, your machine may be upgraded to the new software by returning it to
the factory to load the new operating program.
Note: You must delete a message before recording a new message. This is necessary because your new
message may be shorter than the old one and the last part of the old message will remain. Deleting the
message restores a blank memory box, ready for the new message.
Maximizing the capability of the MovieTimeS.
This digital answering device has 24 message boxes for show times on 24 screens. If you have a 30 screen
complex, often a movie is played in interlock on multiple screens. We suggest you mention the movie once and
use a show times box to give the show times for all showings.
If you have more than 24 movies you may use one show times box for two different movies if they run the at
same times.
