Generally speaking it is simple, but it's also fraught with danger. You must be absolutely sure that you're disconnected from the old land line or you may damage your adapter.
Unplug your adapter from the wall jack. Are the house phones that you have plugged in completely dead? If not, then you need to find out why before plugging the adapter back in. If you can check across the red-green pair with a voltmeter, that would be a good thing.
If the house wiring is dead, then it's safe to plug the adapter back in, but the fact that plugging it in with a splitter didn't give you good results suggests that the line isn't really dead. (By the way, good thinking there.) When trying that experiment, be sure that the splitter you're using is a simple Y splitter, not one of those that separates line one and line two. Those splitters can cause confusion.
Another experiment that you can try is to temporarily disconnect your second line. Then repeat your experiment with the splitter and see if you get better results. Also, unplug all the phones in the house and repeat the splitter experiment. If the phone on the splitter works with the adapter also plugged into the wall, then start adding phones back in until it stops working. That should isolate your problem.
