Connecting a Modem to Your Telephone

All models have the capability to provide a connection to a modem. This connection may be established by means of a computer equipped with modem function or a modem connected by hard-wiring. This feature allows data transmission via the DATA jack on the right side of the telephone. On single-line models (2701, 2702, 2703, 2706), LINE1 is used for modem transmissions. On two- line models (2704, 2705), LINE2 is used for modem transmissions.

1.Locate the DATA jack on the right-side of the phone (Lift the rubber cover from the jack to allow the line cord to be inserted).

2.Locate the telephone jack connection on the modem. Connect a line cord to the jack on the modem and plug the other end of the cord into the DATA jack on the phone (RJ11 connection).

The modem is now connected through your telephone on LINE1 or LINE2. Calls can be originated and passed to the modem. Consult the instructions provided with your modem.

On two-line models (2704, 2705), LINE2 can be used as a normal line for incoming and outgoing calls when the modem is not in use.

Setting the Volume

Ringer Volume Switch

The switch is located on the right side of the phone. You may set the switch to HI for high volume, LO for low volume, or OFF to turn the ringer volume off. When switch is moved to the OFF position you will not hear ringing from the phone. However, an extension phone using the same line will ring during an incoming call.

2706 Model: Volume may be adjusted to one of four levels when phone is ringing by using the volume arrow buttons.

Two-Line Models: Have two volume switches, one for each line.

The 2702 and 2704 models are hospitality models and do not have an OFF ringer position. These models have LO and HI ringer positions only.
