Notes
• Use only the supplied AC-T131 AC power adaptor.
Do not use any other AC power adaptor.
• Connect the AC power adaptor to a continuous power
supply.
• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you
can unplug the AC power adaptor easily.
Tips
• If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your
telephone service company for assistance.
• L1 is the first phone line connected to center pair of
wires. L2 is the second phone line connected to outer
pair of wires.
Connecting a computer or FAX
You can connect a computer or FAX, etc. to the
DATA jack.
Notes
• L2 jack is used for receiving or sending
computer or FAX data in addition to making
or receiving calls.
If a call comes in on L2 jack with the “call waiting” service while a
computer or FAX connected to the DATA jack is receiving or sending
data, that data may be effected.
If you have data communication frequently, we recommend that you
and your callers use L2 jack for data communication only.
• If you have only single outlet having one line, connect the telephone
line cord to the L2 jack.
