Connecting the SS900
According to standard industry practice, surge protection
is recommended for the power and the telephone line
connections.
The rear panel of the SS900 includes seven (7) 3.5mm
jacks and one (1) telephone jack.
Plug one end of the provided telephone cable into the
SS900 jack labeled Line In. Plug the other end of this
cable into the telephone wall jack.
NOTE: You will need as many stereo 3.5mm patch cords
for the equipment you wish to connect. There are a variety
of these cables at your local electronics store. Some cables
have one wire and two plugs (one plug at each end of the
cable) or two wires and four plugs (two wire cable with a
plug at each end of each cable). You may use either of
these cables to connect equipment to the SS900. Be sure
that you purchase stereo cables instead of mono cables.
