Connecting the phone line
Your phone line is your connection to the Internet. To access these features,
insert one end of the supplied phone line into the phone connector on the rear of
the TV/monitor. Insert the other end into an existing phone line with a dial tone.
If you wish to connect your regular phone line and the
iCEBOX to the same phone jack, use the phone splitter
provided. To connect both lines to one jack:
1.
Unplug your regular phone cord.
2.
Plug the splitter into your phone jack.
3.
Plug your telephone’s line into one side of the
splitter and plug the iCEBOX’s phone line into the
other side of the splitter.

WARNING! DO NOT
connect the iCEBOX to a
digital phone line
. Connecting the
iCEBOX to a digital phone line will cause permanent damage to the unit.
Digital phone lines are mainly used in industrial and commercial settings. Most homes
are wired with analog phone lines. Consult the Appendix of this manual for more
information about digital and analog phone lines. If you aren’t sure what type of phone
line you have,
contact your phone company.
