2.1.1 Before Installing
Please read the following notes concerning installation and connection before installing the PBX and 
terminal equipment. 
Be sure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
Safety Installation Instructions
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the 
risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2.Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet 
locations.
3.Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been 
disconnected at the network interface.
4.Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Installation Precautions
This PBX is designed for wall mounting only, and should be installed in a location where it is 
accessible for inspections and maintenance.
To prevent malfunction, noise, or discoloration, avoid installing the PBX in the following locations:
1.In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places. 
Temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)
2.Areas where sulfuric gases may be present, such as near thermal springs.
3.Areas where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4.High-dust areas, or places the PBX may come into contact with water or oil.
5.Near devices that generate high frequencies, such as sewing machines or electric welders.
6.On or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment, as well as microwave ovens or air 
conditioners. (It is preferable not to install the PBX in the same room as the above equipment.)
7.Within 1.8 m (6 ft) of radios and televisions. (Both the PBX and Panasonic proprietary telephones 
[PTs] should be at least 1.8 m (6 ft) away from such devices.)
8.Locations where other objects will obstruct the area around the PBX. Be especially careful to 
leave at least 20 cm (8 in) of space above and 10 cm (4 in) to the sides of the PBX for ventilation.
Wiring Precautions
Be sure to follow these instructions when wiring the unit:
1.Do not run unshielded telephone cables near AC power cables, computer cables, AC power 
sources, etc. When running cables near other noise-generating devices or cables, use shielded 
telephone cables or shield the telephone cables with metal tubing.
2.If cables are run on the floor, use protectors to prevent the cables from being stepped on. Avoid 
running cables under carpets.
3.Avoid using the same AC outlet for computers, telexes, and other office equipment, as noise 
generated by such equipment may hamper system performance or interrupt the system.

4.Use 2-pair telephone cables when connecting Panasonic PTs.
Use 1-pair telephone cables when connecting single line telephones (SLTs), data terminals, 
answering machines, computers, voice processing systems, etc.
5.Unplug the PBX from its power source when wiring, and plug the PBX back in only after all wiring 
is completed.
6.Mis-wiring may cause the PBX to operate improperly. Refer to Section 2, Installation when 
wiring the PBX.
7.If an extension does not operate properly, disconnect the telephone from the extension line and 
connect it again, or turn off the PBX using the power switch then turn it on again.
8.For safety purposes this unit is equipped with a grounded plug. If you do not have a grounded 
outlet, please have one installed. Do not bypass this safety feature by tampering with the plug.
9.Use twisted pair cable for outside (CO) line connection.
10.Outside (CO) lines should be installed with surge protectors. For details, refer to 2.4.1 
Connecting Outside (CO) Lines, 2.2.7 Installing Surge Protector.
11.To assure good quality telephone connection, it is recommended new and modifications to 
existing installation of customer premise wiring shall use solid twisted pair copper conductors 
with minimum 24 gauge that comply with the electrical specifications for Category 3 wiring as 
detailed in ANSI/EIA/TIA-570A Building Wiring Standards.
