II. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The FAX-210 must always be connected to the power outlet prior to making the telephone line
connection. Similarly, when disconnecting the unit, the telephone line connection should be
removed before unplugging the unit. This procedure is necessary because the unit relies on the
power outlet's ground for your protection from any possibly hazardous electrical conditions that
may arise on the telephone network.
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-210 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particuiarly
simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the
USOC RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is
not modular. It is very easy to convert the wali piug to a modular form. Conversion is very
simple and conversion kits are avaiiable from your local phone company, an electronics /
computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or the AT&T phone stores.
To connect your FAX-210 to the telephone line, foliow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the RJ7
jack on the side of the handset cradle.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs to the
LINE jack in the back of the FAX-210 unit and the second plug to your modular wall jack
