Plug the system in to power it up. Once powered up, the LED will blink rapidly,
4 impulses per-second (IPS), after 5 seconds, it will begin blinking at the normal
operational rate of 1 IPS. To ensure that the X16 system is initialized properly,
switch the "INIT" switch back and forth three times within three seconds. When
the LED returns to 1 IPS, the system will be fully operational.
Initialization
The X16 system can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall. It should be
located close to where the telephone lines come into the building and plugged into
a 110 electrical power outlet. Only the X16 system will need to be plugged in, all of
the X16 telephones are powered by the X16 system.
The X16 system comes equipped with four Telephone Company Lines, which are
labeled Central Office Ports and are labeled as 1/2, 2, 3/4 and 4. The system can

Sometimes a second line will be connected to the
outer pair (Black/Yellow). The system is design to
accommodate both types of installations. When
using only the center pair, connect 1 telephone
line to each of the 4 ports in the system. When
using both the center and outer pairs, use only
Speakerphone Button
ports labeled 1/2 and 3/4 to connect all 4 lines.
Your existing cabling will determine how the telephone lines will be connected to the
system. The supplied "Loop Cable" may be helpful when installing the telephone lines.
Note: The port labeled "Line 1" gives you access to the telephone company line plugged
into the Central Office Port labeled 1/2. This is useful during a Power Failure or anytime
you want to access line 1 from a cordless telephone.

Loop wiring, which is similar to the wiring found in most homes should

their wiring. The supplied Loop Cable can be used to connect 4 different
