1.7 SELECT LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION
Select a suitable location for installation of TalkSwitch.
TalkSwitch can be installed on a desktop or mounted on a wall. It can be
installed in a office or communications or utility room.
Choose a location that meets the following requirements:
• Ambient temperature between 0°C-35°C
• Away from heat sources, and direct sun light
• Avoid rooms with excessive humidity or dust
• Within 1.5m of a power socket.
• Close to telephone company demarcation point for telephone lines, or
sockets, and any in-building telephone wiring connection point.
• Away from any electronic devices that emit radio signals.
• Away from hazardous or explosive materials.
When installing multiple TalkSwitch units, do not stack units on top of each
other.
If TalkSwitch has been exposed to low temperatures prior to installation,
wait until the system has reached room temperature before connecting the
power cord to avoid damage due to condensation.
Recommendation: To minimize the disruption time of your incoming
telephone lines during the system setup, we recommend that you
configure the unit before you connect all your phones and incoming
telephone lines to TalkSwitch. For more information, see Chapter 2:
starting on page 31.
Recommendation: Use only the power adaptor and power cord supplied
with your TalkSwitch. Check the supply voltage matches the rating on
the power adaptor label. If your supply voltage does not match the power
adaptor rating, please consult your reseller.
For safe operation, the TalkSwitch power adaptor must be connected to a
power supply socket with a third pin (ground /earth).
