10  Place the carrier on its feet towards the back of the shelf or desk, making sure it is 
in a stable position. Be sure the telephone line cords come out the rear exit slots in 
the back of the unit. Arrange the power cord and telephone line cords beneath the 
shelf or desk, so no one can step on them or trip over them.
11  Insert the carrier’s power cord into the AC adapter, then plug the power cord into 
a properly grounded, 3-prong wall outlet that is not controlled by an on/off 
switch.
If appropriate, you can wall-mount the AC adapter using its attached wall-
mounting bracket.
!CAUTION:
Never connect or disconnect telephone line cords, or insert or remove radio 
modules, while the carrier is plugged into the wall outlet.
12  Go to “Single Carrier Installation Self-Test” (page 40).

Installing a Single Carrier on a Wall
•Install the unit high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) between 
the top of the antenna and the ceiling.
•Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall 
outlet (hot insertion).
•See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.
To wall-mount a single carrier:
1  Perform the tests described in “Using Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3 to 
determine the optimal placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, all 
you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in 
the handset.
2  Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before 
continuing.
3  Place the carrier against the wall. Choose a location backed by a wooden stud (if 
unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws). Hold the 
carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a nail or pencil, mark screw locations 
through the four wall-mount holes.
Start the screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch 
(12 mm) from the wall. Place the carrier assembly over the screws, then slide it 
downward to lock it into place. Tighten the screws.

4  Remove the plastic cap covering each radio module’s card edge before inserting 
the radio modules into the carrier.
5  Starting from the leftmost slot (#1), insert each radio module into the carrier by 
hooking it onto the radio module mounting rod. Slowly swing the radio modules 
card edge into the card edge connector on the back of the carrier.
6  When the card edge is fully seated, a snap lock on the bottom of the radio module 
will engage.

Single Carrier Installation Self-Test
To perform a single carrier self-test:
1  A single carrier must always function as a control carrier. Wait a few seconds, 
then check the LED(s) on the right side of the carrier:
~Model 117A4: 
Compare the OUT OF SYNC and CONTROL/EXPANSION LEDs against 
the top three lines on the “SYNC and CONTROL/EXP LED Codes” label.
~Model 117A3: 
The 117A3 has no CONTROL/EXPANSION LED. The OUT OF SYNC 
LED should not be lit.
2  If the OUT OF SYNC LED is lit, power down, wait at least 15 seconds, and then 
repower the carrier. If the LED is still lit, follow the suggestions in the 
“Installation Problems” section of Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.” If the LED is 
still lit, call Customer Support as described in the Copyright and Legal Notices at 
the beginning of this book.

3  If you are using a Model 117A4 carrier, verify that the carrier’s 
CONTROL/EXPANSION LED is lit and that its color is green. This is correct 
for a single-carrier installation.
4  Verify that the POWER and PA S S LEDs on each radio module are lit. If a radio 
module’s PA S S LED does not light, power down the carrier and the module, wait 
15 seconds, and repower the module and then the carrier. If the PA S S LED still 
does not light, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
Note:The RADIO LED also may light upon installation; however, since the 
RADIO LED has no significance during installation, ignore its operation.
The RADIO LED indicates a connection between the handset and the 
radio module; it lights when the handset is being used as long as the 
battery pack in the handset is charged.
Installing Multiple Carriers
•Install each carrier high on a wall, leaving 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) 
between the top of the antennas and the ceiling.
•Install each carrier 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) from its neighboring 
carrier.
•Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall 
outlet (hot insertion).
•See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail.

Multiple-carrier installation involves several stages:
•Mounting the carriers on the wall and cabling them.
•Installing a single radio module in each carrier.
•Installing the remaining radio modules.
The most efficient method for installing carriers and their radio modules is to perform self-tests after each stage 
of the installation. This enables you to spot any problems at an early stage and to avoid the necessity for 
deinstalling the components in order to solve problems.
Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers
Perform the tests described in “Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3 to determine the optimal placement of the radio 
module. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack 
in the handset.
If you are installing 117A3 carriers and need to adjust the power setting to avoid interference from other wireless 
products, see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Power Level.” Also make sure you have set the Control/Expansion DIP 
switch correctly (see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Control/Expansion DIP Switch”).
To mount and connect cable for multiple carriers:
1  Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before 
continuing.
2  Choose a location backed by a wooden stud for the carrier (if unavailable, use 
toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws).
Note:The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier; all of the others are 
expansion carriers.
Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough room to the right for additional 
carrier(s) if applicable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a 
nail or pencil, mark screw locations through the four wall-mount holes. Start the 
screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch (12 mm) from 
the wall.
3  Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each carrier, leaving 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 
feet (1.2 m) between carriers.

4  Place the carrier assembly over the screws, then slide it downward to lock it into 
place. Be sure that the leftmost carrier is the control carrier. Tighten the screws. 
Repeat for each carrier.
5  Connect an expansion cable to the OUT jack of the control carrier.
6  Insert the free end of the expansion cable into the IN jack of the expansion carrier 
immediately to the right of the control carrier.
Note:Although installing an expansion cable into the wrong IN or OUT jack 
will not harm either carrier, doing so causes all handsets to work 
improperly and the OUT OF SYNC LED to light.
7  If you have a second expansion carrier:
 a  Connect an expansion cable to the OUT jack of expansion carrier #1.
 b  Insert the free end of the expansion cable into the IN jack of expansion 
carrier #2.
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for an illustration of a four-
carrier setup.
