Dialing in the event of a power failure

Your fax machine can only receive telephone calls even in the event of a power failure, if an optional handset is attached. But ti cannot send or receive a fax document.

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 P H O N E1 jack on the rear
	side of your machine.

3 Plug the other end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset. If connected 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

W antto 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 P H O N E2 jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a setup, only your machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone signals 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 itsAC power jack!

2 Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second phone into the P H O N E2 jack on the left side of your fax machine.
