Plug In the Power Cord
Plug one end of the power cord into the round power access port (labeled Power) located on the back of the CEIVA frame. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a light switch.We recommend that you use a surge protector power strip to prevent surges of electrical current from damaging your CEIVA frame.
Plug In the Phone Cord (PicturePlan only)
Insert one end of the phone cord into the square phone access port (labeled Phone) located on the back of the CEIVA frame. Plug the other end of the cord into a phone outlet. If you need to share the outlet with an answering machine, fax machine or another phone, use the dual phone splitter (included). If you are using a broadband or wireless connection, or if you are not using the optional PicturePlan service, you do not need to plug in the phone cord.
Your CEIVA frame requires an analog phone line to place its daily call to the CEIVA Network. A digital line could cause damage to the CEIVA frame. Digital lines are most commonly used in offices and hotels. Please ask your phone company what type of line you have if you are unsure.
If you wish to connect your CEIVA frame to a home or office network with an optional CEIVA Broadband adapter or CEIVA Wireless adapter, please refer to page 20 of this manual. You can also refer to http://ceivabroadband.ceiva.com and http://ceivawireless.ceiva.com for more information.
NOTE: If you try to connect your frame to the CEIVA Network before registering it, the frame will display an error message.
NOTE: If your CEIVA frame is dialing from a location that has “Pulse Dialing”, or if your telephone line requires a dialing prefix, please refer to page 22 for instructions on setting up these features.
NOTE: If you have DSL, you will need to use a DSL filter (not supplied, check with your DSL provider).
