Installation
Console
Fitting the backup battery
Slide off the battery compartment cover and clip a 9V battery onto the battery contacts.
Slide the battery into the battery compartment and replace the cover. When AC power is
applied the battery LED on the front panel will go out. It is not necessary to disconnect
power to the Console when fi tting or replacing the battery.
Attaching cables
Plug the power supply jack into the back of the Console and plug the power supply into
an AC outlet - preferably an outlet that is NOT controlled by a wall switch (so you don't
accidentally turn off the power to the Console). A telephone cord terminated at each end
with an RJ11 connector is provided for telephone connection. If possible, the Console
should be connected to its own telephone line to ensure that the line cannot be busy when
the Console attempts to dial out. For applications where this is not practical, the Console
may also share a line with an existing telephone using the "T" adapter (included).
Note: The X10 Personal Assistance Console is not designed to operate with an RJ31X
type telephone connection.
