Installing the Rest of Your Phones
Locate all the cordless telephone handsets and
phones currently connected to your phone system.
Make sure each phone or cordless telephone base
station is connected to an ooma device.
Any phone that is not connected to an ooma device
should be disconnected. Additional ooma Scout
devices can be purchased online on the ooma
website.
How Phone Devices Work with the ooma System
See below for more information about how the ooma
system works with common devices that plug into
the phone line.
Cordless Phones
To connect a cordless phone to your ooma system,
simply plug the base station into the port labeled
PHONE on an ooma Hub or ooma Scout.
For cordless phone systems with multiple handsets,
only the main base station needs to be connected to
an ooma Hub or ooma Scout. Charging cradles for
cordless phones that do not plug into a phone jack
do not need to be connected to an ooma device.
Please refer to the USING THE INSTANT SECOND
LINE WITH CORDLESS PHONES section for important
