1. Plug the base unit into an
electrical outlet near an
existing wall phone jack. The
indicator light on the front of
the base turns red.
Important: The base and
extension units work best
when plugged directly into an
electrical outlet. Do not plug
them into a surge protector,
plug strip, or extension cord.
2. Plug one end of the provided telephone cord into the LINE jack on
the right side of the base unit, and the other end into any existing
wall phone jack. The base unit's indicator light should turn green.
3. If you want to use a phone at this jack, plug it into the PHONE jack on
the side of the base unit.
Installing and Testing the Extension Unit
1. Plug the extension unit into an
electrical outlet where you want
a new phone jack. The indicator
light on the extension unit blinks
red. As soon as the extension
and base units recognize each
other, the extension unit's
indicator light turns green.

2. To make sure you've completed the installation successfully, plug
a handset or cordless phone into the PHONE/DATA jack on the
extension unit.
Important: If your phone requires power to operate, don't forget to
plug its power adapter in! The extension unit provides the phone
signal to the connected phone, not power.
