received on a line for which call
forwarding has been activated.
You can connect the DRD-4 to any
four telephone devices. The DRD-4
will automatically direct all incoming
calls to their intended destinations.
If you are using any data devices,
such as a fax or a computer, set the
devices to answer on the second or
third rlng.
You can make outbound calls from
any port on the DRD-4. Once you
take a phone off the hook, the DRD-
4 blocks other ports from
interrupting the initial call.
Therefore, you must directly dial any
calls placed from data equipment,
such as a fax or a computer, from
the equipment itself or from a
phone connected directly to it.
DRD-4 applications are unlimited.
Following are examples of ways in
which calls can be directed.

to any of the following types of
devices, with each device answering
calls to a different phone number:

or office
