Connecting Telephones to the Control Unit
■ The charging base station requires only a three-prong AC outlet that is
not connected to a wall switch.
■ The telephone handset must be within range of the radio base. The
indoor range is 400 through 600 ft. and the outdoor range is up to 1000 ft.
■ Except while charging, the handset does not need to be located near the
charging base.
Connecting Telephones
to the Control Unit
The way you connect telephones to the control unit depends on the number of
telephones you are connecting. For 24 telephones or less, use a direct
connection. For 25 telephones or more, use cross-connect fields.
For building cross-connect fields, use one of the following wiring kits:
■ Interconnect Wire. This complete wiring kit contains 110 jack-panel
blocks, a template, wiring troughs, D-rings, and D8W cords.
■ Systimax. This complete wiring kit contains 110 termination blocks with
modular jacks, a 110A field-termination block, a template, wiring troughs,
D-rings, and patch cords.
Considerations
Review the following items before you begin the procedure:
■ If the way you connect the telephones differs from the instructions on the
system forms, record each jack and telephone change on Form 2a,
System Numbering: Extension Jacks. See Appendix A, ‘‘
System
Numbering Forms’’.
■ If you use staples to attach the cords to walls or baseboards, make sure
you do not pierce the cords.
