Connecting Various Lines
If the connection is incorrect, the machine cannot send/receive faxes. Connect the machine correctly.
Important
Do not connect fax machines and/or telephones in parallel (US and Canada only).
If two or more fax machines and/or telephones are connected in parallel, the following problems may
occur and the machine may not operate properly.
If you pick up the handset of the telephone that is connected in parallel during fax transmission
or reception, the fax image may be corrupted or a communication error may occur.
Such services as Caller ID, etc. may not operate properly on the telephone.
If you cannot avoid parallel connections, set the receive mode to TEL priority mode, understanding
that the above problems may occur. You will only be able to receive faxes manually.
Basic Connection
Make sure that the machine is turned off, connect one end of supplied telephone line cable to the
telephone line jack near the "LINE" mark of the machine, then connect the other end to the telephone line
jack on the wall or to the telephone line jack of the xDSL splitter.
When you connect the telephone to the machine, make sure that the machine is turned off, connect one
end of the modular cable to the external device jack near the "EXT." mark of the machine, then connect the
other end to the telephone line jack of the telephone.
Important
Be sure to connect the telephone line before the machine is turned on.
If you connect the telephone line when the machine is turned on, turn the machine off and disconnect
the power plug. Wait for 1 minute then connect the telephone line and power plug.
Note

Refer to Rear View for the position of the telephone line jack and the external device jack.
Before connecting a telephone or answering machine, remove the Telephone connector cap.
For users in the UK:
If the connector of the external device cannot be connected to the jack on the machine, you will need
to purchase a B.T. adapter to connect as follows:
Attach the B.T. adapter to the modular cable connecting the external device, then connect the B.T.
adapter to the external device jack.
