Using the Telephone While the Communicator
is Making a Call
If you pick up the phone while the Communicator is
using the telephone line, hang up the receiver, wait
3 or more seconds, and then pick up the telephone
receiver again. The Communicator should disconnect
and dial tone will be restored.
If the Communicator does not disconnect and restore
dial tone, hang up the receiver. Then unplug the
Communicator from electrical power. You can then
use your phone. Plug the Communicator back in after
you have finished using the phone.
The Communicator will attempt to reconnect later.
DSL Internet Service
This section applies only if you are using a standard
telephone connection to the LATITUDE system.
If you have digital subscriber line (DSL) internet
service provided through your telephone line, you may
need to install a DSL filter between the wall phone
jack and the LATITUDE Communicator.
Most DSL filters are small rectangular devices with
standard telephone jack connectors at each end.
These filters are typically provided by DSL service
providers to connect telephones, an answering
machine, or a fax machine to your telephone line.
If you use DSL filters for such devices, you will need
to install a DSL filter to use the Communicator. If you
use a dual-port DSL filter, connect the Communicator
to the port labeled PHONE or where you would
typically connect a telephone. For assistance, contact
your DSL service provider or LATITUDE Patient
Services at 1-866-484-3268.
