VP+ Step-by-step Installation Instructions
DEAFWORKS Tech Support is pleased to offer you an
easy "step-by-step" installation instructions on the VP+, a Videophone Answering Machine
Controller unit (either color in black or white) which is a perfect gadget
gizmo item for every Sorenson's VP-100 or
D-LINK's DVC-1000 users! Here are several selection
steps:
VP+ unit requires a VCR (or DVD) to operate as an "answering machine". DEAFWORKS
strives for the best design to use the VP+ with your favorite VCR brands! But,
there may be one little problem. If you use a VCR alot for recording your various
TV shows, the VP+ will not work effectively. It would be best if you get another VCR,
just for videophone answering machine only. Again, the nicest thing about VP+ is that it
allows you to use freely with your own favorite VCR brands! What's more, if the
VCR breaks down under warranty, you do not need to return it by mail of where you got it
from. It would just a waste of money and time, too! You can just always run to your
favorite store locally to buy a VCR replacement unit. The VCR costs around $50.00
nowadays, pretty cheap! Look out in the newspaper for future store holiday sales which
it would gives you a deep discount for VCRs as low as $25.00!
Safety. Of course, it is everyone's mind. It is an extremely important that you keep your videophone's top side heat ventilation area
clear and free from any blockage. If you put something on top of it and block the ventilation, you are making the
videophone gets too hot! DEAFWORKS designed a VP+ that is so small which it
can sits on the videophone without any problem! For any reasons that your entertainment center shelf prevents you to
add the VP+ on top of the videophone unit, you can put it on the side of the videophone.
