Making Connections

Connecting the Telephone Line and External Devices

Your unit has three jacks on the side for connection of the following:
• Telephone line
• Optional handset or telephone
• Extension phone (i.e. an additional telephone that you may wish to place away from your
unit to answer calls from a different location), answering machine, or data modem.
If you only have one telephone line and plan to use your unit for receiving both faxes and
voice calls, you will need to connect the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering
machine to the unit.
Be sure to connect any external device before using your unit.
Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line and external devices:
1Connect the supplied
telephone line to the L
jack, then connect the
other end of the line to the
telephone jack on your
wall.
2Connect the line from the
optional handset or
telephone to the h jack.
3Connect the line from the
extension phone,
answering machine, or
data modem to the t jack.
