Safety information
1. If you have multiple phones in your home, and any of them are
left off the hook, the Home Communicator will not be able to
place a Help Call. This problem can be addressed by plugging the
Home Communicator phone cord into an RJ31X/CA38A type jack,
sometimes referred to as a “line seizure jack”, on your main phone line.
Contact your phone company for further assistance with this option.
If (and only if) there is only one phone jack in your home, there is
an RJ31X jack in the Home Communicator that is designed to seize
the line if installed properly. Please refer to the Customer Premises
Equipment and Wiring diagram on page 44 in the Safety and Regulatory
Compliance section.
2. This product cannot be used on party lines/shared service lines.
3. If you have DSL Internet service, you will need to install a DSL filter
between your phone jack and the Home Communicator. Contact your
phone company to obtain a DSL filter or purchase one from a local
electronics store.
Warning
Using telephone services provided via the internet, broadband, VoIP, or
any other nontraditional telephone service presents additional risks for
non-transmission of signals from the Equipment, and the Equipment may
not operate as intended. Contact Lifeline if you have questions in this
regard. If your landline phone service is deemed not compatible with
the 7000L, a 7000C Wireless Communicator may possibly be used to
provide Lifeline service.
