Using advanced signal-
processing technology, the Phone

telephone system when no direct
connection is available.
The Phone Coupler II is
powered by one 9-volt alkaline

of continuous use.

anywhere using your portable or
notebook computer.
Key Features
PHONE COUPLER II
The coupler’s easy to install,
too. Simply plug it into your
computer’s modem jack labeled
“LINE,” and strap the two units
together tightly.
If you’re connecting to an
AT&T Merlin phone system,
which uses a handset with a
chisel-shaped mouthpiece, use
the included round rubber
adapter.
But if you need to fit a square
handset to the round coupler,
order an optional Acoustic
Coupler Handset Adapter
(MD001). It includes an adapter
for the mouthpiece and an
adapter for the earpiece.
For PC card or PCMCIA
modems that require more
current from the Phone Coupler II,
just set the coupler’s internal
”high-current” switch inside the
battery compartment.
Although the Phone Coupler II
can dial automatically, in some
cases you’ll need to dial manually.
Cellular telephones and some
pay, rotary-dial, international, and
digital or PBX telephones will not
accept the dialing tones produced
by your modem. Just look for a
manual-dialing feature in your
communications software.
