The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that  
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide  
advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted  
service. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact customer service as indicated in  
the warranty section of this manual.  
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC  
Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TVinterference in a residential  
area. However, since this equipment can radiate radio frequency energy (whether installed properly or  
not) it may cause TVor radio interference. To eliminate interference you can try one or more of the  
following corrective measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
Increase the distance between the system and the radio or TV  
Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV  
Read the Troubleshooting section of this manual for directions on remedying the problem. Do not open  
the unit. Any changes made by the user will void the user’s athority to operate the equipment.  
Lightning  
Your Wireless Jack for Modems System has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in the telephone line. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your system. Lightning damage  
is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that  
you unplug the system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.  
Important Notes On Operation  
Do not plug Wireless Jack for Modems into power strips or surge protectors.  
Wireless Jack for Modems Extension does not operate during a power outage.  
Wireless Jack for Modems System can only be used for single phone line.  
Be sure to plug Base unit (two jacks on side) in first before Extension unit (one jack on side).  
If you cannot get a dial tone, unplug both phone jacks and follow the section titled “Trouble  
Shooting”on page 7.  
It is very important that directions are followed in order. In the event of a problem unplug both units,  
remove all cords and start again.
