To set up the product on a shared fax/voice line with a computer dial-up modem
and answering machine
1. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer
dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone
wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the product.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the product, connect one end to
your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE
on the back of the product.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone
wall jack to the product, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your
home or office.
3. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the product.
4. Using another phone cord, connect one end to the port labeled 2-EXT on the back
of the product. Connect the other end of the phone cord to the parallel splitter on
the side with the single phone port.
5. Unplug your computer modem from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the
parallel splitter on the side with two phone ports.
6. Connect your answering machine to the other open phone port on the parallel
splitter.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones
from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine,
and you might not be able to receive faxes with the product.
