INSTALLATION
You can place the AFX-400 on a flat surface or mount it on a
wall (see “Mounting on a Wall” on Page 5). Choose a location
that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• at least 2 feet away from any electronic equipment
Caution: The supplied AC adapter supplies 12 volts and deliv-
ers at least 830 mA. Its plug fits the AFX-400's
12VAC jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the AFX-400 or the adapter.
Note: The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
1. Plug one end of the supplied modular telephone line cord
into the TEL LINE jack on the AFX-400’s back panel, and
plug the other end into a modular telephone line jack.
Notes:
• Your AFX-400 connects directly to a modular telephone
line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks
and adapters available at your local RadioShack store,
or have the telephone company update the wiring for
you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.
2. To connect a fax machine, plug its modular cord into the
FAX/MODEM jack. Set the fax machine’s ring number to its
minimum setting (typically one ring).
3. To connect a modem instead of a fax machine, plug the
modular cord from its line input jack into the FAX/MODEM
jack on the back panel of the AFX-400. Set the modem’s
ring number to its minimum setting (typically 1 ring).
4. To connect an answering machine, plug the modular cord
from its line input jack into the AFX-400’s ANSWERING
MACHINE jack. Also, see “Preparing an Answering
Machine for Use with the AFX-400” on Page 5.
5. To connect a Caller ID unit, plug the modular cord from its
line input jack into the AFX-400’s PHONE jack. Also see
“Using Caller ID” on Page 9.
6. To connect a telephone, plug its modular cord into the
AFX-400’s PHONE jack. or into your Caller ID unit’s phone
jack.
Note: If your Caller ID unit does not have a connection for
a telephone, connect your telephone to your answering
machine or directly to the
ANSWERING MACHINE jack.
