Adding New Modules
Adding new modules to an existing 5-slot carrier is very similar to installing the
control unit.
CAUTION:
Before starting, verify that you have batteries installed in the processor
module by viewing the display of the telephone at extension 10.
Follow these steps to add a module to an existing 5-slot carrier:
1 Move the On/Off switch to the “Off” position (“O”).
2 Remove the power cord from the wall outlet.
3 Perform the following steps to remove the cover:
a Loosen the thumb screw at the bottom of the carrier cover.
b Rotate the carrier cover to disengage the tabs at the top of the modules
from the openings on the top of the carrier cover.
4 Before installing a module, remove the clear, plastic protector from the
connector area on the rear of the module by grasping the tabs on the ends
of the protector and lifting.
Use these instructions if you are adding modules to an existing 5-slot
carrier. If you are upgrading from a stand-alone PARTNER ACS
processor module to a 2-slot carrier, see “Wall-Mounting a Stand-Alone
Processor Module and a 2-Slot Carrier” on page 14 for instructions.
