Anti-Feedback
Paging Interface
June 26, 2012
Totally Eliminate Paging Feedback
Even the best designed paging systems can
experience feedback. Now you can eliminate
annoying feedback over your paging speak-
ers with Viking’s model FBI-1A digital anti-
feedback paging interface.
The FBI-1A utilizes state of the art digital
recording technology to record the “live” page
from a phone system’s paging port output or
unused trunk port. The FBI-1A then immedi-
ately plays back the recorded page once or
twice (selectable) over the paging system.
Pages of up to 32 seconds can be stored and the FBI-1A automatically adjusts to the
page length for faster processing. In addition, the FBI-1A can be programmed to pro-
vide pre-page and post-page alert tones.

A. Mode Switch
In the Trunk Port position, 24V talk battery is supplied for connecting the FBI-1A paging input to a phone system’s unused trunk
port. In the Paging Port position, a 600 ohm audio input is supplied for connecting to a phone system’s paging port output.
IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line.
It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.

B. VOX Sensitivity
If the FBI-1A is installed on a phone system’s paging port that does not supply a page control contact (normally open relay contact
that closes while the paging port is activated) the VOX (Voice Operated Recording) feature may be used. The VOX sensitivity may
require adjustment. Rotate the POT clockwise to increase the sensitivity for low level input signals (see Programming section I).
Note: The VOX (Voice Operated Recording) feature is not used in the trunk mode or when a page control contact is connected to
the record page input of the FBI-1A to trigger the recording. In these applications, set the VOX sensitivity to the minimum level.

Standard record time - 16 seconds (high quality/80K)
Extended record time - 32 seconds (low quality/40K)
Note: DIP Switches are shown in the factory default positions.
D. Paging Control Output
If required, these optional relay contacts can control your paging system. The contacts can be set to activate during page playback
or during recording and playback (see Programming section C).
E. Cancel Page Input
The FBI-1A is capable of cancelling a page in progress. Connect the Cancel Page Input to a normally open remote switch or but-
ton at the receptionist’s desk. Momentarily pressing the button will cancel the page in progress (during recording or playback).
F. Record Page Input
Connect the Record Page Input to the normally open paging control contact of your phone system. Place the VOX sensitivity POT
in the “MIN” position. The FBI-1A will record the page while the contact closure is maintained. Note: Using the Record Page Input
is preferred over using the VOX circuit to control recording.
G. Page Alert Tone Volume
The FBI-1A has a POT for adjusting pre-page and post-page alert
tone levels (see diagram, right).
H. Paging Volume
Rotate the Paging Volume POT clockwise to increase the paging
volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the paging volume (see
diagram, right).
I. Page LED
This is a recording and playback indicator. When recording in the
Trunk Port mode, the LED will light steady while the phone system’s
trunk port is accessed. When recording in the Paging Port mode, the
LED can be used as a maximum VOX sensitivity adjustment indicator;
the LED should flash only when the paging port is accessed and pag-
ing audio is present, if the LED lights steady when the paging port is
not accessed, the VOX sensitivity is set too high and should be decreased until the LED turns off (see Programming
section B). During playback in either mode, the LED will light steady for the entire duration of the message playback.

A. Trunk Port Mode
Important: The MODE SWITCH must be in the TRUNK PORT position.
1. Access the phone system’s trunk port that is interfaced to the FBI-1A.
2. Announce the page.
3. Hang-up.
Note: The FBI-1A will record the entire time the trunk port is off hook. It is important that you hang-up immediately
after announcing the page to avoid recording silence.

B. Paging Port Mode
Important: The MODE SWITCH must be in the PAGING PORT position.
1. Access the phone system’s paging port.
2. Announce the page.
3. Hang-up.
If you are using the Record Page Input (see Programming section F), the FBI-1A will record the entire time you are off hook on
the paging port. It is important to hang-up immediately after announcing the page to avoid recording silence.
If you are NOT using the Record Page Input, the FBI-1A’s VOX (voice activated recording) circuit will sense the paging audio and
automatically begin recording the page. The FBI-1A will continue to record until 2 seconds of silence is detected. The FBI-1A will
then playback the recorded page. In this mode, the VOX sensitivity may require adjustment (see Programming section B).

B. Eliminating Feedback on the SLP-1
Note: For both modes, if the page exceeds the recording time, you will hear two error beeps in the handset before the page is played.
On systems that do not use the paging control output (see Programming section D), the error beeps will play over the paging system
before the page.
