If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your MFC. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See illustration on page 2-14.)

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line (unless you have the Distinctive Ring service).
