If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a telephone jack that isn't connected to a telephone. If you have only one convenient telephone jack, use the T Splitter to share the line. This will enable you to keep both the Internet Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the same time. The T Splitter must be plugged into the wall jack to operate properly.

If you have Call Waiting, you can use the Line Share™ feature to temporarily disconnect from the WebTV Plus Network when you receive a call.

For information on disabling Call Waiting, or on disconnecting from the WebTV Plus Network to make a telephone call, see the on-screen help. If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you might consider using a separate, or dedicated, telephone line to access the WebTV Plus Network. Contact your local telephone company to order a separate telephone line.

Do not connect to a "wireless" telephone extension. Since these devices typically do not support high data rates, it may result in very slow operation, or may even prevent connection with the WebTV pius Network.
