Connecting to a Two-Line Phone
To record information about calls received on a two-line
phone, you can connect two Caller ID boxes using a triplex
adapter (not supplied, available at RadioShack). Each Caller
ID box only records information about calls received on the
line to which it is connected.
Your modular phone jack must be an RJ14 jack wired for
two phone lines.
1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the modular
phone jack on the wall, and plug it into the L1 + L2 jack
on the triplex adapter.
2. Plug the triplex adapter into the modular phone jack.
3. Plug the pre-wired telephone line cord from your Caller
ID box into either L1 or L2 on the triplex adapter.
4. Repeat Step 3 to connect another Caller ID box to the
other available jack ( L1 or L2 ) on the triplex adapter.

You can set the Caller ID box flat on a desk, shelf or table, or mount the Caller ID box on a wall.
On a Wall
Be sure to set your
answering machine
to answer after two
or more rings, so the
Caller ID box has
time to record the
call information.
4. Plug one end of a third
telephone line cord into the
answering machine’s phone
jack and the other end into the
phone’s modular jack.
3. Plug the line cord’s
other end into the
answering machine’s
line jack.
2. Plug one end of
another modular
cord (not supplied)
into the Caller ID
box’s PHONE JACK.
1. Plug the Caller ID box’s pre-
wired telephone line cord
into the modular wall jack.
2. Thread the screws
(not supplied) into the
holes, letting the heads
extend about
1 / 8 inch
(3mm) from the
mounting surface.
3. Connect the Caller ID
box as described in
“Caller ID Box
Connection” on Page 1.
4. Align the keyhole slots
on the mounting
bracket with the
screws and slide the
Caller ID box down
until it is secure.

(38mm) apart at the
