Installing the WRT
•
The WRT is set to tone dialing when shipped. If pulse dialing is required
see the section on Setting Tone/Pulse Operation.
•
Follow all appropriate electrical codes and use only approved electrical
fittings for the installation.
See: Figure 5 - Setting
Dialing Mode &
Installation
•
Choose a wall location that is free of obstructions and permits space for
wiring.
•
Ensure mounting can support 6.5 lbs (2.95 kg) plus any additional,
foreseeable load.
See: Figure 2 - Overall
Dimensions - Standard
Models
•
Ensure that none of the electrical connection circuits are live.
Mounting Without Optional Mounting Plate
•
Use the appropriate template to locate and drill holes for mounting screws.
Use #10 or M5 screws to secure the unit to the wall. Use anchors in plaster
or cement to provide a firm grip for the mounting screws. Use sturdy hollow-
wall fasteners to mount the set to drywall.
•
Loosen the five captive screws in the faceplate and swing the faceplate to
the left. If the set is on a vertical surface the faceplate will stay open like a
book in this position. Take care not to disturb the internal wiring.

•
Secure the unit to the wall.
•
Replace the faceplate. Do not over tighten the screws.
Mounting With Optional Mounting Plate
•
Use the appropriate template to locate and drill holes for mounting screws.
•
Secure the unit to the wall.
Wiring the WRT to the Telephone System
•
Remove the wiring access cover plate.
•
Bring cable into the enclosure through the conduit entrance and attach
individual wires from the exchange – Tip/Ring/Ground – to the surge
arrestor (Tip & Ring are not polarity sensitive). If a conduit hub is used,
ensure it is grounded to the ground stud.
•
Replace the wiring access cover plate.
Final Check
•
Check the set visually for loose screws and trapped wires. Check that the
handset hangs freely in the cradle and that the handset cord is not trapped
by the door.
•
Check that the faceplate is snug to its gasket, paying particular attention to
the area around the cradle. Check that the door closes flush to the housing.
•
Test the unit by calling to and from another unit on the exchange.
