UNIT 3: INSTALLATION - LESSSON 5: OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

External Paging Connection

The KX-TAW848 has two types of paging. Internal and single zone external paging are available. Internal paging is a feature that allows a user to dial a feature code and page all or a select group of telephones. When internal paging is accessed, the audio will be broadcast over the speakers built into the proprietary telephones. Each proprietary telephone extension can belong to multiple paging groups.

External paging is a little different. It requires external speaker(s) to be installed in the location(s) that require the paging. To operate the external speakers, an external paging amplifier is required. The paging amplifier and speakers should be installed according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

The number and type of speakers required will determine what size of amplifier is needed. Whatever amplifier you may choose, it must have a 600 ohm input jack. The input jack on the amplifier will be connected to the Main Unit by a cable. One end of the cable requires a connector suitable to connect to the input jack on the amplifier. The other end needs to have the 3.5-mm mini-plug soldered. Once the cable has been prepared, the mini-plug can be inserted into the EPG output jack located in the Main Unit.

Note: It is possible to make announcements through internal and external page zones simultaneously.
