Converting Telephone Wall Outlets There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. 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 Brother 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 triplex adapter.

Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. 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

the triplex adapter.
Installing Brother 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 Brother machine on Line
2, which is our assumption 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 two-line telephone next to your Brother 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.
