- INSTRUCTIONS -

The AX-A, AX-AN, AX-B, and AX-BN are interior sub stations designed for use with the AX system. The AX-A and
AX-AN sub stations are surface mount and will mount to a single gang box or can be set on a desk or table top.
The AX-B and AX-BN sub stations are semi-flush mount and can be mounted into a 6-⅛" H x 3-¾” W cutout in a
wall, or can be mounted using the model BBX-1E back box. The sub stations with the “N” at the end of the model
number include the PRIVACY feature, which prevents a master station from hearing audio from that sub location
while the Privacy button is engaged.
