A - 15 APPENDIX A
Installing MFC, 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 MFC must be isolated
on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common
connection is to put the MFC on Line 2, which is explained 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 MFC 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
MFC.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your MFC into the L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack
on the back of the MFC.
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 MFC.
You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always.
There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the MFC’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.
