Follow these steps to use the RC940 with a VoIP service.
NOTE: You must subscribe to a VoIP service with decoder box in order to
use the RC940 for an additional VoIP line. The RC940 will not work with
VoIP without a decoder box.
Installing the Base Unit
Installation for VoIP Service
1. Plug the base unit into an
electrical outlet near your VoIP
decoder box. 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 phone output of the
VoIP decoder box. The base unit's indicator light should turn green.
3. Plug the phone you use with the decoder box 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 VoIP 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.
