One end has a small square connector (Connector A), and the other has a large rectangular connector (Connector B). Take the telephone cable and plug Connector A into the socket labelled ‘LINE’ on the back of your new lifeline alarm. Plug Connector B into the master telephone socket in the property.

If there’s an ADSL filter, unplug your telephone from it and plug Connector B into the ‘Phone’ socket on the filter. Next, plug Connector A into the socket labelled ‘LINE’ on the back of your lifeline alarm.
Step 2: Setting up the Telephone Adaptor
Find the telephone adaptor. This adaptor has a connector on one end of the cable and a receiving socket on the other end. Plug the telephone adaptor into the socket labelled with the ‘telephone symbol ☎’ on the back of the alarm unit. Now you can plug your telephone (or splitter) into the adaptor.
