Basic operation

Attaching an optional handset

You may purchase an optional handset for your fax machine. Here is how to attach the handset.

1	Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, attach the handset cradle to the left
	side of your machine, using the screws included with the cradle.

2	Plug one end of the handset cord (it s curled) into the PHONE1 jack on the rear
	side of your machine.

3	Plug the other end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset. If con-
	nected to a phone line, your fax machine is now off-hook.
	Note: The handset has a small flash button which you can press while
	holding the handset, putting the fax machine back on-hook until you
	can hang up the handset properly in step 4.
4	Place the telephone handset onto the handset cradle. The cradle will press the
	handset s flash button, hanging up the handset.

Attaching a second phone

Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they can share the same phone jack? No problem.

Before we go further, let s explain the idea. You re plugging the second phone s phone line into your machine s PHONE2 jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a setup, only your machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone sig- nals through your machine.

Now, let s proceed

1	If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it
	from that jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you ll need it in step 2.
	Note: Of course, if your second phone is a model which requires AC power,
	as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don t unplug it from its AC
	power jack!
2	Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second
	phone into the PHONE2 jack on the left side of your fax machine.
