MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

Follow these steps to connect the AFX-300 to the phone line and your answering machine (TAD), fax machine, fax modem, and/or data modem.

MODEM FAX LINE TAD

DC 12V

Notes:

•If your telephone line does not have a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can convert the wir- ing yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local Radio Shack store, or you can have the telephone company update the wiring for you. The telephone company will charge you for the installation of the necessary jacks. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
