Important!

Mounting the NuPoint Module

The NuPoint module must be securely attached to

the device with all screws to operate properly.

If you purchased NuPoint with your Accent™ device, the NuPoint module is already mounted on the device. If you
purchased NuPoint later, follow these instructions to attach the module to the device. You can attach the module
to a device with or without a frame.

Note: Your device may look slightly different from the device shown in these photos.

1. Remove the device handle or port cover by removing the two screws. You will use the screws you remove from

the handle or port cover to fasten the NuPoint module to the device.

Important! If the device has a frame attached, remove the two top screws that hold the frame in place.
Otherwise, the NuPoint module will not mount properly. Store these screws in a safe location or discard them.

Loose screws can be a choking hazard.

2. Align the connector and screw holes on the NuPoint module with the NuPoint USB connector and screw holes

on the top edge of the back of the device.

3. Slide the module into place, making the sure the connectors are engaged completely.

4. Tighten the two screws you removed in step 1 to secure the module to the device.

5. The NuPoint module is ready to set up for use.

To Clean the Module: Wipe the module with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning solvents or immerse
the module in water or any other liquid.

using it. You will modify the settings using the NuVoice™ software that is installed on your device.

Important! The NuPoint module must be mounted on your device to display all NuPoint settings.

Note: For detailed information on using the NuVoice application, refer to the NuVoice Software Manual. The
