Installing 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
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 the two-line telephone next to your machine.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax 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 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.
