Q: What if my home phone service is through my internet
connection with a Voice-over-Internet Protocol?
A: Please check with your Telephone Service Provider,
but SilverCare is likely to work effectively.
Q: What if my phone service has an outage problem?
A: The SilverCare Base Console will alert you with a
blinking light above the display, and the display will say:
“Phone Line Out” to notify you of the situation.
Q: Where should I plug in my answering machine?
A: For an answering machine that is currently connected
to the RJ11 (phone jack on the wall) should be plugged
into the “phone” jack in the back of our base unit. Then
we can connect the “line” jack of the base unit to the
RJ11 phone jack on the wall.
Q: What if I have DSL service?
A: SilverCare works fine with DSL, but you may want to
consider purchasing an economical DSL filter from an
office supply store to reduce line noise.
