3. Pull front assembly away from back unit.
4. Disconnect the gray Wago connector (see diagram on page 9).
5. If wall mount, mount to wall.

7. Connect the electrical conduit of the 12v power supply to the Call Station and run necessary wires.
8. Connect 12v wiring to the Call Station power cable (see diagram on the last page).
9. Turn on 12v power to the Call Station.

Once the electrical is “live”, the phone needs to be programmed and tested. Reconnect the Wago connectors that attach the front plate to the NEMA 4 box. If the phone will be programmed remotely, secure the front assembly to the back panel and reinstall the 12 screws to the sides of the unit. If the phone will be programmed on-site, proceed to the directions for “On-Site Programming”.

Communication

To connect your analog phone line to the Emergency Call Station:

1. Remove front Stainless Steel plate using the security torx bit to remove the 6 security screws.
2. Locate the gray phone cable coming out of the NEMA 4 box.
