SETTING THE RING SELECTOR SWITCH

You can set the fax switch's ring selector switch so that the fax switch
automatically directs calls to the fax machines after 3, 5, or 7 rings. 
This gives you time to answer the call before it is directed to the fax
machine.  For example, if you set the ring selector switch to respond
after the third ring, the fax switch waits for you (or your answering
machine) to answer the call within 3 rings.  If the call is not answered
within 3 rings, the fax switch directs the call to the fax machine.

You can also set the ring selector switch to the infinite setting to
prevent the fax switch from automatically directing any call to the fax
machine.

To set the ring selector switch, move the dip switches to the appropriate
positions, as follows:

                            SWITCH     1    2

                            3 Rings    IN   OUT

                            5 Rings    OUT  IN

                            7 Rings    IN   IN

                            Infinite   OUT  OUT

Notes:  If you set the ring selector switch to any setting other than the
        infinite setting, your answering machine's remote answer-on
        function might not work.

        Before you change the ring selector switch setting, disconnect
        the AC adapter from the fax switch's DC12V  jack.  Then,
        reconnect the adapter.

INSTALLING THE FAX SWITCH

Follow these steps to install your fax switch.

1.  Plug your fax machine's modular plug into the fax switch's FAX jack.

2.  Plug the fax switch's modular cord into a modular (RJ11C) telephone
    line jack.

    NOTE:  If your telephone line does not end in a modular jack, contact
           your local Radio Shack store or telephone company.  The
           telephone company can charge you for the installation of the
           necessary jacks.  The telephone company will ask you the USO
           number of the jack to be installed.  This number is RJ11C.

3.  Plug the AC adapter's small end into the fax switch's DC 12V jack.
    Then, plug the adapter's other end into a standard 120 volt AC power
    outlet.  The fax switch's POWER ON/BUSY indicator lights and the fax
    switch performs a self-test by ringing the fax machine two times.

4.  Route the AC adapter's cord through the fax switch' strain-relief.

5.  If you want to connect an answering machine to the fax switch, connect
    the answering machine's modular plug to the fax switch's ANS jack.

6.  If desired, mount the fax switch on a standard modular wall plate or
    directly on a wall using two screws (not supplied).
