What is the TELCO OUT port used for on an EC-8?
Another telephone instrument (e.g. fax , modem, standard telephone, etc.) can share the outside phone line with the EC-8 by connecting the outside phone line to the “TELCO IN” port on the EC-8 and connecting the telephone instrument sharing the line to the “TELCO OUT” port. Be sure to set the EC-8 not to answer before your other device picks up (or, if sharing with a standard telephone, be sure to allow enough rings for the person answering the phone to pick up).
The other device sharing the line should NOT be emergency equipment of any kind.
