CONFERENCE 1 PHONE

• When you clean the Conference 1, make sure it’s unplugged from the AC

outlet. Do

not

use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Instead, use a damp cloth

moistened with water to clean the outside of your Conference 1’s base unit
and power supply.

• It’s conceivable that you might have another power supply whose output cord

is terminated with an RJ-45 plug. However, the power supply that we ship with
the Conference 1 is still the only power supply that you should use with it.
Using a power supply rated for different voltages or currents than the
Conference 1 expects could damage the Conference 1 and attached devices.

3.3 Placement and Preparation

The Conference 1 should be placed on a steady flat surface such as a desk or
tabletop near the center of your conference room. The room shouldn’t be larger
than 20 feet by 20 feet (6 m by 6 m). The Conference 1 should be at least
8" (20 cm) from the edge of the desk or table, at least 18" (46 cm) from any wall,
and within 4 to 6 ft. (1.2 to 1.8 m) of the seats of all people who will be speaking
during phone calls. If there is a sticker on the Conference 1’s speaker, remove it.

Don’t put your Conference 1 on any unstable cart, stand, table, etc. And don’t

place the Conference 1 in damp areas or near places where water can collect. (For
example, don’t place it near a pool, tub, wash basin, or sink, and don’t place it in a
wet basement.) If the Conference 1 falls or gets wet, it could be seriously damaged.

Don’t put your Conference 1 near any noisy equipment or fixtures (ventilation

ducts, loudly humming PCs, etc.). The Conference 1 can reduce, but not
eliminate, background noise.

The Conference 1 is preset for touchtone dialing. If your site’s telephone service

doesn’t include touchtone dialing, slide the PULSE/TONE switch on the bottom
of the Conference 1 to the PULSE position. See 

Section 4.2

.

If you want to connect the Conference 1 to a two-line phone service, you’ll need

a line splitter. These are available at telephone-supply stores. See 

Section 3.4.5

.

If your site’s telephones are on a digital (PBX) system, you’ll need an analog-to-

digital telephone converter to connect the Conference 1 to one of your site’s
digital phones. We recommend our Conference Linc Up (product code MC117A).
See 

Section 3.4.6

.

If you want to connect the Conference 1 to an audio-recording device, you’ll

need an auxiliary-input cable suitable for the device. Use the cable recommended
for this purpose in the device’s manual. See 

Section 3.4.7

.
