2.If you have a second Internet phone service account, connect another telephone or a fax machine to the PHONE 2 port of the Phone Adapter.
IMPORTANT: The Phone Adapter includes a ringer (ring signal generator), which is a source of hazardous voltage. When the ringer is activated by an incoming call, do not touch the Phone port wires, the wires of a cable connected to either of the Phone ports, or the internal circuitry of the Phone Adapter.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect either of the Phone ports to a telephone wall jack. Make sure you only connect a telephone or fax machine to either of the Phone ports. Otherwise, the Phone Adapter or the telephone wiring in your home or office may be damaged.
