Setup guide

There are four ways to plug multiple handsets into your Phone Adapter. Currently, only

phone port 1 is active on our Freedom Service -supplied telephone adapters.

You can purchase a multi-line adapter jack, and then connect it to the phone port of the

Phone Adapter. This will allow you to have multiple phones wired on a single Freedom

Service line. These adapters are readily available at retail locations that sell home

telephone accessories, such as RadioShack.

Some customers use cordless phone systems that come with a base unit and extra

handsets. The base station of the cordless telephone plugs directly into the Phone Adapter.

Multiple handsets can be placed anywhere in the house. Cordless phone systems are

available at most retail consumer electronics stores.

You can purchase wireless phone jacks. The base unit connects to the Phone Adapter and

the wireless jacks plug into your household electrical outlets. A telephone connects to the

wireless jack. Please note that only the phone attached to the base unit will display Caller

ID information. Although wireless phone jacks may accomplish multiple phone extensions,

you may periodically experience dropped calls on the extension phones and an inability to

talk on more than one phone at a time. Wireless phone jack equipment is available at

RadioShack and other telephone accessories retailers.

Some of the customers have considered plugging the Phone Adapter directly into the

existing telephone wiring in their homes, attempting to distribute our Freedom Service to all

the existing phone jacks throughout their home. The manufacturer of the adapter does not

recommend hooking anything to the adapter other than a telephone. We recommend that

you seek advice and direction from an electrician or someone who is familiar with internal

telephone wiring on how to best connect it to your current household wiring to take

advantage of multiple handsets. We would advise that you pre-check the wiring on the

acks to make sure you don't have live PSTN voltage on the jacks before connecting them

to the Phone Adapter. If your home has a network interface, you may be able to unplug

your wiring from the PSTN. The status of your phone wiring can be determined using a line

tester, such as those that are available at RadioShack.

Any damage resulting from practices contrary to manufacturer’s recommendations for the

Phone Adapter will not be covered by warranty.
