Attaching a second phone
Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they
can share the same phone jack? No problem.
Before we go further, let’s explain the idea. You’re plugging the second phone’s
phone line into your machine’s
PHONE
2 jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a
setup, only your machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone sig-
nals through your machine.
Now, let’s proceed…
1
If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it
from that jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you’ll need it in step 2.
Note: Of course, if your second phone is a model which requires AC power,
as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don’t unplug it from its AC
power jack!

Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second
phone into the
PHONE
2 jack on the left side of your fax machine.
