Materials Needed: 1 two-line splitter for each existing wall jack, 1 line cord.
If your home or business has 4 or 6-wire cable to each wall jack, you can make your installation look electronically like installation B by using special 2-line (to 1-line) splitter adapters*. The adapters will utilize an unused pair of wires in your home to connect your telephones.
Choose a location where there is an existing wall

to a DEVICE jack. You will install your SR at this location.
Unplug anything connected to this wall jack and
plug the 2-line adapter* into the wall jack.
(READ CAREFULLY) Connect the “LINE” jack of your
SR to the “LINE 1” side of the 2-line adapter with the supplied line cord.
