installing the ooma scout
With your ooma Hub device installed, all that’s left to do is connect each of your other phones to an ooma Scout™ device. Each additional phone on the same phone line (or that will share the same phone number) as the ooma Hub must be connected to an ooma Scout.
Your initial setup will look like:
Phone Jack | Phone Jack | DSL Filter |
|
|
To connect a phone to an ooma Scout:
1If you have DSL, trace the phone cable to the wall. Unplug and remove any existing DSL filters or splitters. Note: Some DSL filters and splitters are mounted flat on the wall jack.
2Unplug the phone cable from your phone and plug it into the port labeled WALL on the ooma Scout.
3Use a phone cable to plug your phone into the port labeled PHONE on the ooma Scout (a short phone cable is provided).
4Plug one end of the AC adaptor into the port labeled POWER on the ooma Scout and the other end into a power outlet.
Now your setup should look like this:
Phone Jack Power
WALL PHONE
After 30 seconds, the clear ooma Tab at the top left corner should turn blue. Pick up the phone connected to the ooma Scout and you should hear the signature ooma dialtone.
