FAQs

What is the SLx Telephone Adaptor used for?

It is used to convert a single UK BT telephone socket into two sockets, allowing you to connect multiple devices to the same phone line.

Is the adaptor easy to install?

Yes, it is very easy to install. Simply plug it into the BT socket and connect your devices.

Does the adaptor affect call quality?

The adaptor itself does not directly affect call quality. However, if the phone line signal is weak, splitting the line may slightly reduce the signal strength to each device.

Can I use this adaptor with a broadband connection?

Yes, you can use the adaptor with a broadband connection, but it's important to connect your modem/router directly into the main socket if possible, and not through an extension.

What devices can I connect to the adaptor?

You can connect telephones, fax machines, modems, and other devices that use a standard RJ11 connector.

Is this adaptor compatible with all BT sockets?

Yes, this adaptor is designed to work with standard UK BT telephone sockets.

What should I do if the adaptor stops working?

Check all the connections. If that doesn't fix it, test your devices directly into the wall socket to see if the issue is with the adaptor.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone on one or both devices.

Check the connections to the adaptor and the devices. Ensure the main BT socket is active and working. Try swapping the devices between the two sockets on the adaptor.

One device works, the other doesn't.

Test each device separately by plugging it directly into the wall socket to determine if the issue is with the device itself. If the device works, then the adaptor may be faulty.

Poor call quality.

This could be due to a poor connection or the phone line. Check the connections. Ensure there is no damage to the adaptor.
