Please read the following notes concerning installation and connection before installing the PBX and

Safety Installation Instructions
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
3.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
4.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Installation Precautions
This PBX is designed for wall mounting only, and should be installed in a location where it is
accessible for inspections and maintenance.
To prevent malfunction, noise, or discoloration, avoid installing the PBX in the following locations:
1.
In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places.
Temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)
2.
Areas where sulfuric gases may be present, such as near thermal springs.
3.
Areas where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4.
High-dust areas, or places the PBX may come into contact with water or oil.
5.
Near devices that generate high frequencies, such as sewing machines or electric welders.
6.
On or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment, as well as microwave ovens or air
conditioners. (It is preferable not to install the PBX in the same room as the above equipment.)
7.
Within 1.8 m (6 ft) of radios and televisions. (Both the PBX and Panasonic proprietary telephones
should be at least 1.8 m (6 ft) away from such devices.)
8.
Locations where other objects will obstruct the area around the PBX. Be especially careful to
leave at least 20 cm (8 in) of space above and 10 cm (4 in) to the sides of the PBX for ventilation.
Wiring Precautions
Be sure to follow these instructions when wiring the unit:
1.
Do not run unshielded telephone cables near AC power cables, computer cables, AC power
sources, etc. When running cables near other noise-generating devices or cables, use shielded
telephone cables or shield the telephone cables with metal tubing.
2.
If cables are run on the floor, use protectors to prevent the cables from being stepped on. Avoid
running cables under carpets.
3.
Avoid using the same AC outlet for computers, telexes, and other office equipment, as noise
generated by such equipment may hamper system performance or interrupt the system.
