CHAPTER TWO
Installing Brother Machine, External Two-Line TAD,
and Two-Line Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device
(TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line
at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put
the Brother machine on Line 2, which is our assumption in the following
steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one
labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three
telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your
external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-
line telephone.
1
Place the two-line TAD and two-line telephone next to your
Brother machine.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the
left side of the machine.
3
Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1
jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack
of the two-line TAD.
4
Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the
L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on
the left side of the machine.

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are
two ways to add a two-line telephone to the fax machine’s wall outlet. You
can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the
TEL jack of the two-line TAD.
