Installation Instructions and User's Guide

 Read and understand all instructions.  Follow all warnings and instructions marked

on the instrument.

 Installation must be performed in accordance

with all national wiring rules.

 The outlet to which this apparatus is connected

must be installed near the equipment, and must always be readily accessible.

 This instrument can be hazardous if immersed

in water. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not use the telephone equipment while you are in the bathtub or shower, or when you are wet. If you accidentally drop the equipment into water, do not retrieve it until you have first unplugged all cords. Do not reconnect the telephone equipment until it has dried thoroughly.

 Avoid using the telephone equipment during

electrical storms in your immediate area. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Urgent calls should be brief. Even though protective measures may have been installed to limit electrical surges from entering your home or business, absolute protection from lightning is impossible.

 If you suspect a natural gas leak, report

it immediately, but use a telephone away from the area in question. The telephone equipment's electrical contacts could generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

 Never push objects of any kind into the

telephone equipment through housing slots as they may touch hazardous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone. If liquid is spilled, however, refer servicing to proper service personnel.

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do

not disassemble this telephone equipment. Opening or removing covers may expose you to hazardous voltages. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the equipment is subsequently used. If your telephone equipment does not work properly, refer to the section describing how to get service. The support telephone number can be found on the outside back cover of this book.

 Never install telephone wiring during a

lightning storm.

 Never install telephone jacks in wet locations

unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

 Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or

terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected from the network interface.

 Always use caution when installing or

modifying telephone lines.

When using your telephone equipment, the following safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

Installing SoundStation Premier 500D/550D

1. Insert the short Network Cable into the 500D/550D Interface Module jack marked with the Network icon ( ). Plug the other end into the digital voice jack, as shown below.

(If the connector does not fit, you will

need one of the optional RJ11 to RJ45 Network Cables for connection to the wall jack, and for your phone should you choose that option. This cable has a smaller connector on one end, so try it both ways.)

2. You have the option to install a DEFINITY series telephone along with your SoundStation Premier 500D/550D.

Plug the DEFINITY Telephone cable

into the jack on the 500D/550D Interface Module indicated by the telephone icon ( ).
