Turn the Phone Adapter so that you can see the lights. The first three lights should come on in sequence.

Light 1 is the power light and should become solid green.

Light 2 will flash as Internet traffic passes through the device.

Light 3 indicates dial tone is available from the “Phone 1” jack and should become solid green within 30-60 seconds. It will flash when a phone is in use (off-hook).

Test your connection by picking up the phone. You should now hear a dial tone. If you will be using a single phone plugged into the Digis Phone Adapter, you can now skip to page 11, “Feature Setup and Use.” However, if you have phones throughout your home that you would like to connect to the Digis Phone Service, please proceed to Step 9 which covers “Whole Home Installation.”

Whole Home Installation: If you wish to use all the phones in your home on the Digis Phone Service, it is imperative that you disconnect the landline of your existing phone carrier from your home wiring.

If you have ported your number, wait until you are notified via email that your port has completed before proceeding. Otherwise continue with the following steps.

To disconnect your home from your landline phone provider, locate the telephone network interface unit on the outside of your house. This is usually located near the cable and power boxes. Most units will look like this box, but may vary depending on the age of the home. Using a screwdriver, open the box.

Step 11

Interface Type 1: Locate all the RJ-11 telephone plugs in the box. These are the clear plugs that look like a standard telephone plug in your home.
