When the transmitter is not reading or sending information, it is idle. Leaving the transmitter
connected to your telephone line does not affect your telephone's normal operation. You can still
make and receive calls.
NOTE: At any time during your Merlin@home session, you can interrupt your session to
use the telephone. If you do not hear a dial tone when you pick up your telephone
handset, hang up and pick up your telephone handset again. If your Merlin@home
session is interrupted, the transmitter may display a Can't Send Information message. If
so, press the Start button and the transmitter will attempt to send your information at a
later time.
To use the Merlin@home™ transmitter, your telephone service provider must support touch-tone
dialing. You must use a push-button telephone with a standard (RJ-11) plug. Your telephone wall
jack must also accept a standard (RJ-11) plug. If you have an older plug or jack, you can
purchase an RJ-11 adapter that allows you to use the transmitter.
NOTES:
•
If your telephone is wired into the wall, you cannot use the transmitter unless
you install standard telephone wall jacks. To do this, contact the telephone
company for help.
•
If DSL shares your telephone line, contact your DSL service provider for a
filter to prevent any possible interference. Plug the filter into the telephone
wall jack and plug the phone connector into the filter. For more information
on how to use the filter, contact your DSL service provider.
CAUTION: The transmitter is designed for use with direct analog telephone lines.
It may be damaged by any other type of phone line. See Technical Support (page
6).

Can You Use the Transmitter While Traveling?
The Merlin@home™ transmitter works within your country, but it might not work outside your
country. Check with your doctor before traveling with the transmitter. If he or she agrees that it is
all right, carefully repackage the transmitter in its original packaging. If you are using a telephone
with your Merlin@home transmitter, you may want to purchase an RJ-11 telephone plug adapter
in case you need to plug the transmitter into an older telephone wall jack.
