The EV-1 may be recorded locally or remotely. Before recording, it is recommended that a script be written and timed.
There is 10 seconds of voice record time available. The script should contain information about the location of the
emergency call as well as how to start and stop the announcement.
Example: “Elevator number 1215, located in the North Building needs assistance. Press the star key on your telephone
to stop and start this announcement.”

Operation
When an outbound call is initiated, the EV-1 remains silent and monitors for precise ring back tones. After the EV-1 has
determined that the call has been answered (5 - 10 seconds), it begins repeating the recorded announcement continuously.
You may then stop the announcement at any time with a touch tone Q. Upon detecting the Q, the EV-1 will play the remainder
of the announcement in progress, and then stop. When the announcement has stopped, the emergency personnel may
communicate with the person at the emergency phone. The announcement may be started again by pressing the Q.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total REN's, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN
for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this EV-1 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the EV-1 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make
the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
