Connect one end of the supplied telephone line to the jack on the side of

the MultiPASS C5500.

Connect the

phone line.

Connecting the Phone Line(s), Printer Cable, and Power Cord

Connect the other end of the line to the telephone jack in your wall.

You can connect a telephone, answering machine, or data modem to the jack

on the side of the MultiPASS C5500.

Connect a

telephone,

answering

machine, or

data modem.

If you have only one telephone line, the most efficient way to use your system

is to attach a cordless phone with a built-in answering machine to the

MultiPASS C5500.

If you have a separate telephone and a separate answering machine, be sure to

attach the telephone to the answering machine, and then attach the answering

machine to the MultiPASS C5500.

If you have a modem installed in your computer, you can attach it to the

MultiPASS C5500. Connect the telephone line from the wall outlet to the jack.

Then connect the line from the jack on the MultiPASS C5500 to the jack on

the modem. If others access your computer frequently through the modem, or if

you use your modem extensively, you may want a dedicated telephone line for

your modem.

HINTS

If you have only one telephone line and plan to use the MultiPASS C5500

for receiving both faxes and voice calls, you must attach a telephone and/or

answering machine to the unit.

Connect a

bi-directional

parallel cable to

the MultiPASS

C5500.

W. Swanlund CORREX> August 12 '98

Make sure the computer is turned off.

You can purchase a Centronics-compatible, parallel cable with bi-directional

capability from your dealer or from any computer store. Make sure the cable is

IEEE 1284-compliant.

A cable of 6.6 feet or less in length is recommended.

Align the cable connector with the interface port so the shapes match.

Gently press the cable connector into the port.

Secure the cable connector by snapping the two wire clips (located on the sides

of the port) into the cable connector.

Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface port

on your computer.

If you plan to use the MultiPASS C5500 without connecting it to your computer,

see Appendix B of your User's Manual for instructions on how to program your

name and fax number.

Plug the power cord connector into the back of the unit.

Attach the

power cord.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet

(three-pronged outlet).

The MultiPASS C5500 is equipped with a 3-prong, grounding-type plug

(the third pin is a grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type

outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your

outlet, contact an electrician to replace your outlet (do not use a 3-to-2 adapter).

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

Do not plug the MultiPASS C5500 into the same outlet as your computer or

into an outlet shared with an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric

typewriter, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise that may interfere

with operation of the MultiPASS C5500.

The MultiPASS C5500 has no power switch. The power is on as long as the

system is plugged in.
