Dialing in the event of a power failure

Your fax machine can only receive telephone calls even in the event of a power failure, if
an optional handset is attached. But i

t cannot send or receive a fax document.

Attaching an optional handset

You may purchase an optional handset for your fax machine. Here is how to attach the
handset.

Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, attach the handset cradle to the left
side of your machine, using the screws included with the cradle.

Plug one end of the handset cord (it s curled) into the

P H O N E

1 jack on the rear

side of your machine.

Plug the other end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset. If connected
to a phone line, your fax machine is now off-hook.

Note:

The handset has a small flash button which you can press while holding
the handset, putting the fax machine back on-hook until you can hang
up the handset properly in step 4.

Place the telephone handset onto the handset cradle. The cradle will press the
handset s flash button, hanging up the handset.

Attaching a second phone

W ant to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they
can share the same phone jack? No problem.

Before we go further, let s explain the idea. You re plugging the second phone s phone
line into your machine s

P H O N E

2 jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a setup, only your

machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone signals through your
machine.

N o w, let s proceed

If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it from
that jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you ll need it in step 2.

Note:

Of course, if your second phone is a model which requires AC power, as
is true for the base of a cordless phone, don t unplug it from its AC power
jack!

Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second
phone into the

P H O N E

2 jack on the left side of your fax machine.
