IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Follow these general precautions while installing telephone equipment:
• 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 at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines
• When installing Base Stations outside or in buildings other than the one containing the
System Controller, take the following precaution:
If wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an outdoor Base
Station location or to reach a Base Station in another building—the wiring must be
protected at both ends by a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Div
model number SCP-2X2. The Quick Clip Fuse replaces the bridging clips on the 66
blocks for all four connections to the non-internal Ba
