SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Installing
a Fax Machine,
Two Line TAD and
Two Line
Telephone
When you are installing
a two line telephone
answering
device (TAD) and a two line
telephone,
your fax machine
must
be isolated
on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection
is to put the fax machine
on line 2. The back
of the two line TAD must have two telephone
jacks: one labeled
L1 or L1 and L2 and
the other labeled
L2. You will need at least three telephone
line cords: the one that
came with your fax machine
and two for your two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line
cord if you add a two line telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone
beside your fax machine.
Plug one end
of the telephone
line cord for your fax machine
into the L2jack
of the triplex
adapter;
plug the other
end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine.
Plug one end
of the first telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex
adapter;
plug the other end into the L1 or L1 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other
end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine.
The two line TAD hookup
is complete.
It will answer
both lines as usual.
You can keep two line telephones
on other wall outlets
as always.
There are two ways
to add a two line telephone
to the fax machine's
wall outlet.
Plug the telephone
line
cord from the two line telephone
into the LI+L2
jack of the triplex
adapter.
If you
prefer,
you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.

Connecting
Your
Machine
to a Multi
Line System
(PBXs)
Most offices use a central
telephone
system.
While
it is often relatively
simple
to
connect the machine
to a key system
or a PBX (private
branch exchange),
we suggest
you contact
the company
that
installed
your telephone
system
and ask them
to
connect
the fax machine
for you.
It is advisable
to have a separate
line for the fax machine.
You can then leave the
machine
in Fax Answer
Mode to receive
faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine
is to be connected
to a multi-line
system,
ask your installer
to
connect
the unit to the last line on the system.
This will prevent
the unit from being
activated
each time a telephone
call is received.
• As with all fax units
this machine
must be connected
to a two wire system.
If your
line has more than
two wires,
proper
connection
of the fax machine
can not be
made.
