TIP: If the HP Fax came with a 2-wire phone cord
adaptor, you can use it with a 4-wire phone cord to extend
the length. For information on using the 2-wire phone cord
adaptor, see the documentation that came with it.
To extend your phone cord
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP
Fax, connect one end to the coupler, then connect the
other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of
the HP Fax.
2. Connect another phone cord to the open port on the
coupler and to the telephone wall jack.
