Connecting to a Two-Line Phone

To record information about calls received on a two-line phone, you can connect two Caller ID boxes using a triplex adapter (not supplied, available at RadioShack). Each Caller ID box only records information about calls received on the line to which it is connected.

Your modular phone wall jack must be an RJ14 jack wired for two phone lines.

1.Disconnect the telephone line cord from the modular phone wall jack, and plug it into the L1 + L2 jack on the triplex adapter.

MOUNTING THE

CALLER ID BOX

You can set the Caller ID box flat on a desk, shelf or table by itself or with the supplied mounting bracket, or use the mounting bracket to mount the Caller ID box on a wall.

You need two screws (not supplied) with heads larger than the keyhole slots in the mounting bracket.

1.Using the keyholes in the bracket as a template, mark the mounting screw locations on the wall.

2.Drill a hole in the wall at each marked location.

3.Thread the screws into the holes, letting the heads extend about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the mounting surface.

4.Attach the mounting bracket to the Caller ID box.

5.Align the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket with the screws and slide the Caller ID box down until it is secure.

6.Lift the Caller ID box’s screen to adjust it to the desired angle.

6.M/S (master/secondary) on the back of the Caller ID box lets you connect up to four Caller ID boxes to the same phone line, so

you can receive Caller ID information on more than one phone on that line. Ô

If you are installing one Caller ID box, set M/S to M. If you are installing more than one Caller ID box, set M/S on one Caller ID box to M then set M/S to S on the other Caller ID boxes.

Ô NOTE Ô

•If no keys are pressed for 20 seconds, the Caller ID box exits setup.

•If you install more than one Caller ID box on the same phone line and do not set M/S on at least one Caller ID box to M, incoming calls might be disconnected.

•You can also connect other Caller ID modules that do not have the Call Waiting function to the same phone line as your Caller ID box, as long as you do not connect more than four modules at the same time (including this Caller ID box).

•If you connect another type of CID module (other than this Caller ID box) that has Call Waiting to the same phone line, the CID Waiting signal might be garbled or not received.
