4 Dialer Installation & User’s Guide
Installing the Dialer
First, find a suitable location for the dialer. This location
needs two things:
• A standard phone jack connected to the phone line
you want to use for your dialer.
It’s okay if there’s something plugged into that jack,
since the dialer has an extra jack for that situation.
(The dialer should not be used on a phone line that
has ADSL service for high-speed Internet access.)
• An electrical outlet near the phone jack for plugging in
the dialer’s power cube.
This power outlet should be powered up all the time,
and not turned on or off by a light switch.
The dialer’s location should be as close to where the phone
line enters your premises as possible. See if you can tell
where the phone line comes into your premises, and locate
the dialer at the nearest phone jack if possible. If you can’t
tell and you have an apartment, pick a jack toward the
center of the building. If you can’t tell and you have a
home, pick a jack on or near the first floor if possible.
Please see the picture below. Plug the power cube into the
power outlet, and plug its other end into the dialer power
jack. The dialer’s light will blink rapidly ON and OFF. If
there’s something plugged into the phone jack you’ve
chosen, unplug it and plug it into the dialer phone jack 1
as shown. Now plug the short dialer phone cord into the
dialer phone jack 2, with the other end of the dialer cord
going into the wall jack you’ve chosen. Once you do this,
the light should blink once a second to show that the
dialer is installed correctly. If the light stays ON
constantly, you should swap the cords plugged into the
dialer, so that the short cord goes into jack 1. Now the
LED should blink properly, showing that the dialer is
installed correctly.
