Helpful Hints
Please use the power adapter included with the Digital Phone Adapter.
Failure to use the provided power adapter will damage the device.
Disconnect any USB cables from the Cable/DSL modem if present.
Make sure your phone is plugged into the Line 1 port on the
Digital Phone Adapter.
Are you able to access Web pages, such as www.vonage.com? If not,
check to see if your ISP is having connection issues in your area.
Be sure your telephone, which is plugged into the Digital Phone Adapter,
is disconnected from the wall jacks (that traditional phone companies
use). If not, the Digital Phone Adapter will not connect with the Vonage
server and you will not get a dial tone.
Double-check your device connections against the installation
instructions. The order in which you turn the devices on is very
important.
If you are transferring your telephone number, please keep in mind that
most people calling your current phone number will ring your old line.
However, Vonage customers will ring your Vonage line.
