2-2 Installation
Please read the following notes concerning installation and
connection before installing the system and terminal equipment.
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
This system is designed for wall mounting only. Avoid installing in
the following places. (Doing so may result in malfunction, noise, or
discoloration.)
1. In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places. (Temperature
range: 0 °C – 40 °C {32 °F – 104 °F})
2. Sulfuric gases produced in areas where there are thermal
springs, etc. may damage the equipment or contacts.
3. Places in which shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4. Dusty places, or places where water or oil may come into
contact with the system.
5. Near high-frequency generating devices such as sewing
machines or electric welders.
6. On or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment, as
well as microwave ovens or air conditioners. (It is preferable not
to install the system in the same room with the above
equipment.)
7. Install at least 1.8 m {6 feet} away from radios and televisions.
(Both the system and Panasonic proprietary telephones)
8. Do not obstruct area around the system (for reasons of
maintenance and inspection — be especially careful to allow
space for cooling above and at the sides of the system).
Be sure to follow these instructions when wiring the unit:
1. Do not wire the telephone cable in parallel with an AC power
source, computer, telex, etc. If the cables are run near those
wires, shield the cables with metal tubing or use shielded cables
and ground the shields.
