Connecting the Telephone Line and External Devices
The MultiPASS has three jacks on the back for connection of the telephone line, a
telephone, and an additional external device such as an extension phone, answering
machine, or data modem. If you only have one telephone line and plan to use the
MultiPASS for receiving both faxes and voice calls, you will need to connect a telephone
and/or an answering machine to the unit.
Be sure to connect any external device before using your MultiPASS.
Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line and external devices:

phone to the answering machine, and then the answering machine to the MultiPASS.
• If you connect a modem to your MultiPASS and you use it extensively or others access
your PC frequently through the modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for
your modem.
