Before You Start
Before installing your PARTNER system, you must make sure the system wiring
is ready. This wiring includes both the outside Iines from the local telephone
company and the inside wiring for connecting extensions to the 206 modules
(also called system modules).
You should also plan ahead for using the system during power outages. This
section discusses these two topics.
IMPORTANT: If you have any problems with the wiring or installation, call
the AT&T Helpline at 1 800 628-2888 or a...

Check for Inside Wiring
Inside wiring (also called “building wiring”) enables you to connect phones and
other equipment to the 206 modules. If the building is already wired, the follow-
ing section tells you whether or not the wiring will work. If the building is not
wired, you can have it professionally wired or wire it yourself, as described on
the next page.
If There Is Wiring

If There Is No WiringIf there is no inside wiring, or the existing wiring is not acceptable, you can
install your own wiring. The type of wiring you use depends on how far the
extension is from the system module(s). For extensions that are within

nIf your PARTNER system has only one mudule, you can install it on a wall or on a flat sturdy surface above the floor
(such as on a table or desk). Wall mounting is recommended. Complete step 1 below and continue as directed.
If your PARTNER system has two modules, you must install it on a wall. Two #12 screws—for mounting the system
on a wooden surface—are included with the system. If you are mounting on wallboard, metal, or masonry, use the
proper fasteners for the wall...
