Data Port
This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax
machine, computer modem, answering system, or even a cordless phone.
The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can
choose line 1 or line 2.
Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA
PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for line 2.
Connections and Setup
If you are talking to someone on line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change
the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for line 1. Your fax machine
can now receive calls on line 1.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when you are done
because outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to
reach your fax machine if they dial the normal fax line.
Wall Mounting the Phone
1. Remove the desktop stand from the base of the phone if it is already attached to the

3. Connect the line cord to the wall jack and the phone.
4. Slip the mounting circles on the bottom of the phone over the wall plate posts and
firmly slide the unit down into place.
5. Plug the AC adaptor cord into the power outlet.
