Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers

Model 117A4 Carrier Installation Instructions		Installing Multiple Carriers

Be sure you have determined the optimal placement for your carrier using the Performance/Range test and the positioning guidelines described in “Positioning Your Carrier(s).”

If you are installing with 117A3 carriers, see your MDW telephone Installation and Use manual for the proper Power and Control/Expansion DIP switch settings.

1Check to make sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before continuing.

2Choose a location backed by a wooden stud for the carrier (if unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws).

Note: The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier; all of the others are expansion carriers.

3Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough room to the right for additional carrier(s) if applicable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a nail or pencil, mark screw locations through the four wall-mount holes. Start the screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½" (12 mm) from the wall. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each carrier, leaving 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) between carriers.

4Place the carrier over the screws, then slide it downward to lock it into place. Be sure that the leftmost carrier is the control carrier. Tighten the screws. Repeat for each carrier.
