Installing the Dialer
First, find a suitable location for the dialer. This location needs two things:
•A standard phone jack connected to the phone line you want to use for your dialer.
It’s okay if there’s something plugged into that jack, since the dialer has an extra jack for that situation. (The dialer should not be used on a phone line that has ADSL service for
•An electrical outlet near the phone jack for plugging in the dialer’s power cube.
This power outlet should be powered up all the time, and not turned on or off by a light switch.
The dialer’s location should be as close to where the phone line enters your premises as possible. See if you can tell where the phone line comes into your premises, and locate the dialer at the nearest phone jack if possible. If you can’t tell and you have an apartment, pick a jack toward the center of the building. If you can’t tell and you have a home, pick a jack on or near the first floor if possible.
Please see the picture below. Plug the power cube into the power outlet, and plug its other end into the dialer power jack. The dialer’s light will blink rapidly ON and OFF. If there’s something plugged into the phone jack you’ve chosen, unplug it and plug it into the dialer phone jack 1 as shown. Now plug the short dialer phone cord into the dialer phone jack 2, with the other end of the dialer cord going into the wall jack you’ve chosen. Once you do this, the light should blink once a second to show that the dialer is installed correctly. If the light stays ON constantly, you should swap the cords plugged into the dialer, so that the short cord goes into jack 1. Now the LED should blink properly, showing that the dialer is installed correctly.
