The following list provides basic safety precautions that should always be followed when using your telephone
equipment:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment.
3. Unplug all telephone connections before cleaning. DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
4. The product should be serviced by (or taken to) a qualified repair center when service or repair work is
required.
5. DO NOT use the product near water, for example, a wet basement location.
6. Never push objects of any kind into the slots or openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment;
doing so may result in serious damage to the components.
7. DO NOT use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. The telephone equipment is provided with a three-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature. DO NOT
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug. DO NOT staple or otherwise attach the power supply
cord to building surfaces.

from the wall outlet.
B) Remove the screw from the bottom of the
wall-mounted module or modules.
C) If you are upgrading an existing
stand-alone system, skip to Step 4B.
Attach the 2-Slot Carrier to the top right
side of the two modules:

A) Align the carrier carefully and then push
firmly until the connectors on the modules
snap into the carrier.
B) Fasten the carrier to the modules using
the two #4 screws included with the carrier.
Press the power cord firmly into the power
jack on the carrier. Plug the other end of the
8 9
power cord into a properly grounded
three-prong wall outlet not controlled by a
switch.
If you are replacing the second module in a
2-Slot Carrier, remove the two screws
holding the carrier in place and gently pull
the carrier off the modules.
Re-insert the screw into the bottom of the
modules. Tighten it until the processor

module is flush against the wall. Do not
overtighten or the module will warp.

A) Verify that the processor module is in the
center slot of the carrier. In the other slots,
4
from left to right, install modules in this order:
1600 DSL, 308EC(s), 012E, 206(s), then
400(s) or 200(s).
NOTE: If you intend to use the FAX CNG
Detection feature (with ACS), for optimal
performance, insert the 308EC R3.0
module to the left of any 308EC module
prior to R3.0.
B) Align the module carefully in the
appropriate slot. On a Release 4 carrier, lift
the plastic latch on the top of the carrier.
Push slowly but firmly in the center of the
module until the connectors on the module
lock into place and the module is attached to
the rear of the carrier. On a Release 4
carrier, check that the plastic latch on top of
the carrier is secured in the rounded slot on
top of the module (See CAUTION on the last
page.)
!
CAUTION:
Do not force the module. If the module
does not insert easily, remove it, clear
any obstruction, and reinsert it.
