Connecting ShieldPRO with a phone line
ShieldPRO can only connect with a phone line of 2-wire type. Before connecting ShieldPRO with a
phone line, check the type of the phone line.
The diameter of the phone line must be a minimum of 26AWG.
The built-in fax modem is designed to be compatible with the subscriber phone line. Connecting the
modem to lines other than the subscriber phone line may cause the modem to operate improperly or the
modem and/or ShieldPRO to be damaged.
If a modular cable is connected to the RJ-11 connector (phone line modular connector) on ShieldPRO,
do not pull the modular cable nor move ShieldPRO. Failure to follow this instruction may cause the
RJ-11 connector to be damaged.
Connecting a modular cable to the LAN connector may cause a fault to occur. Ensure that the correct
cable is connected to the RJ11 or LAN port.
1. Turn off the power of ShieldPRO.
2. Remove the modular cable from the phone if connected.
3. Insert one end of the modular cable to the RJ-11 connector (modular connector for phone
line) on ShieldPRO. Make sure it is inserted as far as possible and is secure.
4. Insert the other end of the modular cable to a modular jack on a nearby wall. Make sure it is
inserted as far as possible and is secure.
