Brother FAX-150 - Manual (Page 9)

INSTALLING THE UNIT
I. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-150 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly
simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the
USOC RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is
not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion kits are
available from your local phone company, an electronics / computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or
the AT&T Phone Center stores.
To connect your FAX-150 to the telephone line, follow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the
jack on the side of the facsimile unit.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs
to the jack in the back of the FAX-150 unit and the second plug to your modular wall
jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-150 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration below for the telephone connections.
NOTE: If you have a MODULAR PHONE JACK (USOC RJ11C), simply plug the supplied
phone cord into the wall jack.
If you have the older 4-PRONG JACK, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC RJA1X.
Plug the adapter into the wall jack and then plug the phone cord into the adapter. This is
illustrated below.
