The BCM main unit and expansion unit are each powered through an AC outlet. The voltage required depends on the geographical location of the units.

All systems are initially set at the factory, based on the intended destination. You must check that the voltage and wiring are correct for your system before you connect any of the units to the power source. Incorrect power settings result in equipment damage.

Read the following warnings. You must protect yourself and the BCM system from possible electrical shocks.

Warning: Use only qualified persons to service the system

The installation and service of this unit must be performed by service personnel with the appropriate training and experience. Service personnel must be aware of the hazards of working with telephony equipment and wiring. They must have experience in techniques that minimize any danger of shock or equipment damage.

Danger: Electrical shock hazards

Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunications network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the BCM system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. In addition, all unused slots must have blank faceplates installed. The covers on all units must be in place at the completion of any servicing.
