Important Safety Instructions
!WARNING:
The following list provides basic safety precautions that should always be followed when using your telephone 
equipment:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment.
3. Unplug all telephone connections before cleaning. DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a 
damp cloth for cleaning.
4. The product should be serviced by (or taken to) a qualified repair center when service or repair work is 
required.
5. DO NOT use the product near water, for example, a wet basement location.
6. Never push objects of any kind into the slots or openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short 
out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment; 
doing so may result in serious damage to the components.
7. DO NOT use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. The telephone equipment is provided with a three-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature. DO NOT 
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug. DO NOT staple or otherwise attach the power supply 
cord to building surfaces.
!CAUTION:
DO NOT block or cover the ventilation slots and openings. They prevent the product from overheating. 
DO NOT place the equipment in a separate enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
Additional Safety Instructions for Installation Personnel
1. Install the equipment to meet all the environmental and electrical requirements listed in the documentation 
that came with your system.
2. DO NOT install equipment during a lightning storm.
3. DO NOT install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
4. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the 
network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
6. The control unit must be securely wall mounted.

							Using a 2-Slot Carrier
IMPORTANT: The processor module must already be mounted on the wall. If it is not, refer to the documentation 
that came with your system.
Remove the clear, plastic protector from the 
connector on the rear of the new module 
(and the processor module if you are 
upgrading from a stand-alone system) by 
grasping the tabs and lifting.
A) Slide the second module off the processor 
module and put it aside.
B) Slide the new module onto the processor 
module, making sure the mounting tracks 
interlock.
!CAUTION:
Do not force the module. If the module 
does not insert easily, remove it, clear 
any obstruction, and reinsert it.
A) Label the line and extension jacks.
B) Connect the line and telephone cords to 
the appropriate jacks on the new module.
C) Route each cord through the hook on the 
front of its module.
D) Connect the free end of each line cord to 
the appropriate network interface jack.
E) Connect the free end of each telephone 
cord to the modular connecting blocks for 
system extensions.
F) Gather the line and extension cords 
hanging below the hook and twist tie or wire 
wrap them.

A) Before starting, remove the power cord 
from the wall outlet.
B) Remove the screw from the bottom of the 
wall-mounted module or modules. 
C) If you are upgrading an existing 
stand-alone system, skip to Step 4B.
Attach the 2-Slot Carrier to the top right
side of the two modules:
A) Align the carrier carefully and then push 
firmly until the connectors on the modules 
snap into the carrier.
B) Fasten the carrier to the modules using 
the two #4 screws included with the carrier.
Press the power cord firmly into the power 
jack on the carrier. Plug the other end of the 
power cord into a properly grounded 
three-prong wall outlet not controlled by a 
switch.If you are replacing the second module in a 
2-Slot Carrier, remove the two screws 
holding the carrier in place and gently pull 
the carrier off the modules.
Re-insert the screw into the bottom of the 
modules. Tighten it until the processor 
module is flush against the wall. Do not 
overtighten or the module will warp.
Check the green lights on the fronts of the 
modules:
A) If a single light is out, power down the 
carrier, reseat the module, and then power 
up the carrier.
B) If both green lights are out, power down 
the carrier, reseat both modules, and then 
power up the carrier.
C) If the lights are still out, see the Customer 
Support Document on the accompanying 
compact disc for information about whom 
you should contact.

							Using a 5-Slot Carrier
IMPORTANT: The 5-slot carrier and the processor module must already be mounted on the wall. If it is not, refer to 
the documentation that came with your system.
A) Move the carrier’s On/Off switch to “Off,” 
and unplug the power cord from the wall 
outlet.
B) To remove the cover on Release 3.0 or 
earlier systems, loosen the screw on the 
lower front of the cover.
C) Place one hand on the handle on the 
bottom front of the cover, and place your 
other hand on the top of the cover. Gently 
pull the cover up and away from the carrier.
A) Verify that the processor module is in the 
center slot of the carrier. In the other slots, 
from left to right, install modules in this order: 
1600 DSL, 308EC(s), 012E, 206(s), then 
400(s) or 200(s). 
NOTE: If you intend to use the FAX CNG 
Detection feature (with ACS), for optimal 
performance, insert the 308EC R3.0 
module to the left of any 308EC module 
prior to R3.0. 
B) Align the module carefully in the 
appropriate slot. On a Release 4 carrier, lift 
the plastic latch on the top of the carrier. 
Push slowly but firmly in the center of the 
module until the connectors on the module 
lock into place and the module is attached to 
the rear of the carrier. On a Release 4 
carrier, check that the plastic latch on top of 
the carrier is secured in the rounded slot on 
top of the module (See CAUTION on the last 
page.)
!CAUTION:
Do not force the module. If the module 
does not insert easily, remove it, clear 
any obstruction, and reinsert it.

B) Power up the control unit by moving the 
On/Off switch to the “On” position.
Check the green lights on the fronts of the 
modules:
A) If a single light is out, power down the 
carrier, reseat the module, and then power 
up the carrier.
B) If multiple green lights are out, power 
down the carrier, reseat the leftmost module 
that has a light out, and then power up the 
carrier.
C) If the lights are still out, see the Customer 
Support Document on the accompanying 
compact disc for information about whom 
you should contact.

3 If you are removing an existing module, see if 
there is enough slack to remove the module 
without pulling the line and extension cords 
free. If necessary, label and disconnect the 
cords. Then, grab the center of the module 
with one hand. With the other hand, push up 
on the plastic tab at the top of the slot on the 
carrier and pull out the old module.
A) Label the line and extension jacks.
B) Connect the line and telephone cords to 
the appropriate jacks on the new module.
C) Route each cord through the hook on the 
front of its module.
D) Connect the free end of each line cord to 
the appropriate network interface jack.
E) Connect the free end of each telephone 
cord to the modular connecting blocks for 
system extensions.
F) Gather the line and extension cords 
hanging below the hook and twist tie or wire 
wrap them.
G) Place the bundle of wires in the 
indentation on the bottom of the carrier.

							CAUTION
The plastic latches on top of the Partner 5 Slot
Carrier must be secured properly on all Modules.
Make sure the plastic latches are completely down
