DATA PORT
NOTE: The DATA PORT jack should NOT be used to connect the second line
if you have two lines coming from separate wall jacks. See “Installation
Options” on page 4 for details on hooking up this type of system.
This phone is equipped with a DATA PORT jack for you to connect an
auxiliary phone device, such as a fax machine, computer modem, or an
answering machine.
The DATA PORT switch on the right side of the phone controls the DATA
PORT function by enabling you to choose the line that the DATA PORT
uses, or to turn it off completely.
You can use the DATA PORT to hook up your fax machine, for example,
and then set the DATA PORT switch to Line 1 in order to receive faxes on
the phone number for Line 1.
In the event that you are talking to someone on Line 1 and want that
person to fax something to you, change the DATA PORT switch on the right
side of the phone to Line 2, and give the person the phone number for
Line 2. Your fax machine now can receive calls on Line 2.
TIP: The display shows you which line the DATA PORT is currently using. If
the DATA PORT switch is set to off, it doesn’t appear in the display.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when
you are done because outside callers who do not know that you have switched
lines will not be able to reach your fax machine if they dial the Line 1 number.
