Installing machine, external two-line
TAD and two-line telephone 7
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
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 machine and two for your external two-
line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if
you add a two-line telephone.
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line
telephone next to your machine.
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 back of the machine.
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.
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.
Multi-line connections (PBX) 7
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.
