PHONE COUPLER II
W ith the BLACK BOX ® Phone
Coupler II, you can connect
your modem to just about any
telephone anywhere. The coupler
connects to a telephone handset
when a direct connection to an
RJ-11 jack is not possible.
You can use your modem with
pay phones, hotel phones, cellular
phones, digital phones, and even
phones in other countries. Or
connect your laptop's modem
to almost any phone no matter
where you are.
Using advanced signal-
processing technology, the Phone
Coupler II can interface with the
telephone system when no direct
connection is available.
The Phone Coupler II is
powered by one 9-volt alkaline
battery (included), which in most
cases provides you with 50 hours
of continuous use.
Transmit data, check your e-mail, or
access online services from just about
anywhere using your portable or
notebook computer.
The coupler's easy to install,
too. Simply plug it into your
computer's modem jack labeled
"LINE," and strap the two units
together tightly.
If you're connecting to an
AT&T Merlin phone system,
which uses a handset with a
chisel-shaped mouthpiece, use
the included round rubber
adapter.
But if you need to fit a square
handset to the round coupler,
order an optional Acoustic
Coupler Handset Adapter
(MD001). It includes an adapter
for the mouthpiece and an
adapter for the earpiece.
For PC card or PCMCIA
modems that require more
current from the Phone Coupler II,
just set the coupler's internal
"high-current" switch inside the
battery compartment.
Although the Phone Coupler II
can dial automatically, in some
cases you'll need to dial manually.
Cellular telephones and some
pay, rotary-dial, international, and
digital or PBX telephones will not
accept the dialing tones produced
by your modem. Just look for a
manual-dialing feature in your
communications software.
