disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Anti-static precautions should be taken during installation.
Installation Precautions
The PBX can be mounted on a wall or placed on a desktop, and should
be installed in an accessible location where it can be easily inspected and maintained.
To prevent malfunction, noise, or discolouration, follow the instructions below:
