Page 14: Faqs
What happens if someone takes a second phone off-hook when the Broadcast Host is on a call? Broadcast Host will treat the other local voice the same as the caller. It will attempt to keep transmit audio from returning back with the caller’s audio, but this becomes more difficult with this scenario. - Page 15 Make certain you are using the regulated power supply that was shipped with this unit. Power supplies are not all the same. I need to be able to use my Broadcast Host at an office building but they only have a multi-line PBX phone system. Is there some way I can still connect this device? Talk to their phone specialist and ask for a standard analog line.
