Converting telephone wall 
outlets

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 
jack. The first two ways may require 
assistance from the telephone company. You 
can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 
jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an 
RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump 
one of the phone numbers to it.

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex 
adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into 
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two 
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a 
third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your 
machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into 
L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on 
Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.

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 
explained 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. You will need at least three 
telephone line cords, the one that came with 
your machine and two for your external 
two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord 
if you add a two-line telephone.

1

Place the two-line TAD and the two-line 
telephone next to your machine.

2

Plug one end of the telephone line cord 
for your machine into the L2 jack of the 
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into 
the LINE jack on the back of the 
machine.

3

Plug one end of the first telephone line 
cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the 
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into 
the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD. 

4

Plug one end of the second telephone 
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of 
the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into 
the EXT. jack on the left side of the 
machine.

You can keep two-line telephones on other 
wall outlets as always. There are two ways to 
add a two-line telephone to the machineā€™s 
wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line 
cord from the two-line telephone into the 
L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can 
plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack 
of the two-line TAD.
