Data Port
This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax 
machine, computer modem, answering machine, or even a cordless phone.
The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can 
choose Line 1 or Line 2.
Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA 
PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for Line 2. 
Connections and Setup
If you are talking to someone on Line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change 
the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for Line 1. Your fax machine 
can now receive calls on Line 1.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when you are done because 
outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to reach your fax 
machine if they dial the normal fax line.
