Wiring the Terminal Block
Prepare for wiring by following these guidelines:
•
Pull the wires and the phone cable through the opening in
the mounting plate (unless you are running them down
from the bottom of the mounting plate).
•
Prepare the wires by giving each:
• A clean cut
• A clean strip
• A tightly twisted end
•
Loosen the terminal block screws, pry the wire clamps
open with a paper clip, and insert the wires using needle-
nose pliers.
•
Tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten.
To wire the terminal block:
•
Insert the wires in the terminal block following the
sequence shown below.
