  • Page 14: Before You Start

    Before You Start Before installing your PARTNER system, you must make sure the system wiring is ready. This wiring includes both the outside Iines from the local telephone company and the inside wiring for connecting extensions to the 206 modules (also called system modules).
  • Page 15 Check for Inside Wiring Inside wiring (also called “building wiring”) enables you to connect phones and other equipment to the 206 modules. If the building is already wired, the follow- ing section tells you whether or not the wiring will work. If the building is not wired, you can have it professionally wired or wire it yourself, as described on the next page.
  • Page 16 If There Is No Wiring If there is no inside wiring, or the existing wiring is not acceptable, you can install your own wiring. The type of wiring you use depends on how far the extension is from the system module(s). For extensions that are within 14 feet: use the telephone cords included with the system.
