20 LINGO TECHNICIAN’S GUIDE
Preparing to install the voice messaging system
Installing and setting up Lingo are simple
tasks because there are no components to
install or configure. You simply connect the
unit to your customer’s telephone system,
plug it in to an electrical outlet, and install
the batteries.
Choosing a suitable location
The most efficient location for Lingo meets
the following conditions:
• Lingo must be near the main unit of
your customer’s telephone system
because Lingo is wired directly to it.
• A short and neat wiring run is easiest
to set up and maintain.
• Lingo is hung on a wall so that the
connectors are on the right side and
the LEDs are clearly visible on the left.
• There is ample clearance between Lingo
and any other equipment so that you
can easily reach the connectors.
• Lingo is relatively undisturbed but
accessible. Although Lingo itself does
not require any maintenance, there may
be situations when you connect to it for
backing up the system, viewing the
system screens, or creating system
reports.
Warning! Stacking anything on top of Lingo
may damage it and voids the warranty. It is
strongly recommended that you hang Lingo
on a wall.
Avoid areas that are:
• Unusually cold (below 50°F/10°C).
• Unusually hot (above 90°F/28°C).
• Highly humid (above 80% relative
humidity).
• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Subject to heavy vibrations.
• Poorly ventilated. (The heat generated
by Lingo and other equipment can
quickly raise the temperature of an
enclosed space well above Lingo’s
operating limits.)
