pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

1.1.1 System Highlights

Voice Mail Features

A Voice Processing System (VPS) can be connected to the PBX to provide Voice Mail (VM) and Automated
Attendant (AA) services. A Panasonic VPS which supports DPT (Digital) Integration can be connected to
the PBX effortlessly and with minimal setup required. Conventional DTMF (analog) voice mail systems,
including those from other manufacturers, are also supported.

Paralleled Telephone Features

By connecting telephones in parallel, you can increase the number of telephones connected to the PBX
without adding additional extension cards.
An SLT can be connected to an APT which is connected to a Hybrid Port of the PBX. The SLT shares the
same extension number with the APT.

Portable Station (PS) Features

A Panasonic PS can be used in place of an APT to provide wireless access to PBX features and call
handling. When in Wireless XDP Parallel Mode, a PS can share an extension number with a wired
telephone, allowing extension users to use their PSs when they are away from their desks to answer or make
calls as if they were using their wired telephones.

Safety Installation Instructions

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.

Installation Precautions

This PBX is designed for wall mounting only, and should be installed in a location where it is accessible for
inspections and maintenance.
To prevent malfunction, noise, or discoloration, avoid installing the system in the following locations:

1. In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places. (Temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C [32 °F to 104 °F])

2. Areas where sulfuric gases may be present, such as near thermal springs.

3. Areas where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.

4. High-dust areas, or places the system may come into contact with water or oil.

5. Near devices that generate high frequencies, 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 as the above equipment.)

7. Within 1.8 m (6 ft) of radios and televisions. (Both the PBX and PTs should be at least 1.8 m [6ft] away

from such devices.)

8. Locations where other objects will obstruct the area around the PBX. Be especially careful to leave at

least 20 cm (8 in) of space above and 10 cm (4 in) to the sides of the PBX for ventilation.

9. Do not stack up the optional service cards. To avoid damage to the optional service cards, always use

the extension bolts.

Wiring Precautions

Be sure to follow these instructions when wiring the unit:

1. Do not run unshielded telephone cables near AC power cables, computer cables, AC power sources,

etc. When running cables near other noise-generating devices or cables, use shielded telephone
cables or shield the telephone cables with metal tubing.

2. If cables are run on the floor, use protectors to prevent the cables from being stepped on. Avoid running

cables under carpets.

3. Avoid using the same AC outlet for computers, telexes, and other office equipment, as noise generated

by such equipment may hamper system performance or interrupt the system.

26 Installation Manual

2.1 Before Installation

4. Use 2-pair telephone cables when connecting PTs.

Use 1-pair telephone cables when connecting SLTs, data terminals, answering machines, computers,
Voice Processing Systems, etc.

5. Unplug the system from its power source when wiring, and plug the system back in only after all wiring

is completed.

6. Mis-wiring may cause the PBX to operate improperly. Refer to Section 2 "Installation" when wiring the

system.

7. If an extension does not operate properly, disconnect the telephone from the extension line and connect

it again, or turn off the PBX using power switch then turn it on again.

8. For safety purposes this unit is equipped with a grounded plug. If you do not have a grounded outlet,

please have one installed. Do not bypass this safety feature by tampering with the plug.

9. Use twisted pair cable for CO line connection.

10. CO lines should be installed with surge protectors. For details, refer to "2.2.10 Surge Protector

Installation".

11. To assure good quality telephone connection, it is recommended new and modifications to existing

installation of customer premise wiring shall use solid twisted pair copper conductors with minimum 24
gauge that comply with the electrical specifications for Category 3 wiring as detailed in ANSI/EIA/TIA­570A Building Wiring Standards.

2. Insert a grounding wire (user-supplied)*.

3. Tighten the screw.

4. Connect the grounding wire to ground.

Grounding

wire

To ground

* For grounding wire, green-and-yellow insulation is required, and the cross-sectional area of the

conductor must be more than 0.75 mm

• Be sure to comply with applicable local regulations (e.g., law, guidelines).

• Proper grounding (connection to ground) is very important to protect the PBX from the bad effects of

external noise or to reduce the risk to the user of electrocution in the case of a lightning strike.

• The ground wire of the AC cable has an effect against external noise and lightning strikes, but it may
not be enough to protect the PBX. A permanent connection between ground and the ground terminal
of the PBX must be made.

In most of the continental United States, the ground provided by the "Third wire ground" at the commercial
power outlet will be satisfactory. However, in a small percentage of cases this ground may be installed
incorrectly. Therefore, the following test procedure should be performed.

2

or 18 AWG.

Test Procedure

1. Obtain a suitable voltmeter and set it for a possible reading of up to 250 V AC.

2. Connect the meter probes between the 2 main AC voltage points on the wall outlet. The reading

obtained should be 108 V AC to 132 V AC.

3. Move one of the meter probes to the 3rd prong terminal (GND).

Either the same reading or a reading of 0 volt should be obtained.

4. If a reading of 0 volt at one terminal and a reading of 108 V AC to 132 V AC at the other terminal

is not obtained, the outlet is not properly grounded.
This condition should be corrected by a qualified electrician (per article 250 of the National
Electrical Code).

5. If a reading of 0 volt at one terminal and a reading of 108 V AC to 132 V AC at the other terminal

is obtained, then set the meter to the "OHMS/RX1" scale, place one probe at the GND Terminal
and the other probe at the terminal which gave a reading of 0 volt.
A reading of less than 1 ohm should be obtained. If the reading is not obtained, the outlet is not
adequately grounded. See qualified electrician.

2.2.10 Surge Protector Installation

Overview

A massive electrical surge can be caused if lightning strikes a telephone cable 10 m (33 ft) above ground,
or if a telephone line comes into contact with a power line. A surge protector is a device that is connected
to a CO line to prevent potentially dangerous electrical surges from entering the building via the CO line and
damaging the PBX and connected equipment.

To protect the system from electrical surges, we strongly recommend connecting the system to a surge
protector that meets the following specifications:

• Surge arrestor type: 3-electrode arrestor

• DC spark-over voltage: 230 V

• Maximum peak current: at least 10 kA

Additionally, proper grounding is very important for the protection of the system (refer to "2.2.5 Frame
Ground Connection").

Many countries/areas have regulations requiring surge protection. Be sure to comply with all applicable
laws, regulations, and guidelines.

2.7.2 Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care to conduct a site survey. Inadvertent site survey
can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

1. Investigate the installation site

Refer to "2.7.3 Site Planning".

a. Obtain the map of the CS installation site.
b. Consider the service area demanded by the user on the map.
c. Plan the locations of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials and etc.

2. Prepare the CS for site survey

Refer to "2.7.4 Before Site Survey".

a. Assign a CS number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.
b. Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor or a battery box.
c. Install each CS temporarily as planned.

Notes

• Install at least 2 m (6 ft 7 in) above the floor.

• Keep the antennas in the upright position.

3. Conduct the site survey

Refer to "2.7.5 Site Survey".

a. Test the radio signal strength using the PS.

Confirm that the radio signal strength level is "12" near the CS.

2.7.3 Site Planning

Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location
may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.

Understanding the Radio Waves

Characteristics of Radio Waves

The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the
building.

Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment
may create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.

The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.

1. Radio waves are reflected by objects such as those made of metal.

2. Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.

3. Radio waves penetrate objects such as those made of glass.

CS

1. Reflection

Column

2. Diffraction

3. Penetration

Relationships Between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials

• The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number
of obstacles.

• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.

• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.

• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.

• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from

various materials.

72 Installation Manual

2.7 Connection of 2.4 GHz Portable Stations

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Wall Concrete The thicker they are, the less radio waves penetrate them.

Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is,

the more radio waves are reflected.

Window Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.

Glass with wire nets Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be reflected.

Glass covered with
heat-resistant film

Radio waves are weakened considerably when they penetrate
windows.

Floor Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is,

the more radio waves are reflected.

Partition Steel Radio waves are reflected and rarely penetrate them.

Plywood, Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.

Column Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is,

the more radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.

Metal Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.

Cabinet Steel Radio waves are usually reflected or diffracted, and rarely

penetrate them.

Wood Radio waves can penetrate them, but they are weakened.

Site Survey Preparation

1. Obtain the map and investigate the installation site.
a. Check the obstacles (e.g., shelves, columns, and partitions).
b. Check the materials of the structures (e.g., metal, concrete, and plywood).
c. Check the layout and dimensions of the room, corridor, etc.
d. Write down the above information to the map.

2. Examine the service area demanded by the user on the map, referring to the following example.
a. Draw the coverage area around a CS. Extend the coverage area to 30 to 60 meters (98 to 197 feet)

in one direction, depending on the materials of the building structures and obstacles in the
installation site. Note that a CS cannot be installed outside a building.

b. If one CS cannot cover the entire service area, install additional CSs as required. Overlap the

coverage areas of adjacent CSs.
Where CS coverage areas overlap, the PS will start call handover to the next CS if the signal from

74 Installation Manual

one CS becomes weak. However, if a PS moves away from a CS and there are no CSs available
for handover, the PS may go out of range and the call could be lost.
If the signal from the CS fades, due to the structure of the building, there may be some handover
delay. The user will hear a range warning before handover in this case. This also applies in the case
of interference from 2.4 GHz apparatus.

Example: Installing in a Room Separated by Walls

Things to take note of:

• The room is separated by walls.

• The room is surrounded by concrete walls.

CS installation plan:

• The coverage area of each CS will not extend as far as when there is no obstacle, because the
radio signals will be weakened by separating walls. Therefore, you will need 4 CSs to cover the
entire room.

To prevent registering the PS to a wrong PBX, a PIN for PS registration can be set to the PBX. Before
registering the PS to the PBX, register the PIN set to the PBX into the PS. By doing so, the PS will only be
registered to the PBX with the matching PIN.

Notes

• By default, the PIN for PS registration is "1234" for both the PBX and PS. Therefore, the PS can
be registered to the PBX without setting the PIN.

• The PIN for PS registration will only be used when registering the PS to the PBX. Therefore, even
when there is more than 1 PBX with the same PIN near the PS, the PS will not be linked to a
different PBX during normal operation after registration.

• Transmit Data (TXD):…(output)
Conveys signals from the unit to the printer or the PC. A "Mark" condition is held unless data or
BREAK signals are being transmitted.

• Data Terminal Ready (DTR):…(output)
This signal line is turned ON by the unit to indicate that it is ON LINE. Circuit ER (DTR) ON does
not indicate that communication has been established with the printer or the PC. It is switched OFF
when the unit is OFF LINE.

• Signal Ground (SG)

Connects to the DC ground of the unit for all interface signals.

• Data Set Ready (DSR):…(input)
An ON condition of circuit DR (DSR) indicates the printer or the PC is ready. Circuit DR (DSR) ON
does not indicate that communication has been established with the printer or the PC.

• Request To Send (RTS):…(output)
This lead is held ON whenever DR (DSR) is ON.

• Clear To Send (CTS):…(input)
An ON condition of circuit CS (CTS) indicates that the printer or the PC is ready to receive data
from the unit. The unit does not attempt to transfer data or receive data when circuit CS (CTS) is
OFF.
