Connecting an External Telephone
Your machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. 
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering 
device) directly to your machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. 
on the left side of the machine. 
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows EXT. TEL IN USE, 
and, if the machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To...

Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that 
pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed 
down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in 
the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the machine on any of the 
other numbers; when the...

Installing Machine, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line 
Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device 
(TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at 
both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the 
machine on Line 2, which is our assumption in the following steps. The back of 
the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and 
the other labeled L2....

Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple 
to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), 
we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system 
and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate 
line for the machine. You can then leave the machine in FAX mode to receive 
faxes any time of day or night.
If the machine is to...
