Caring for your MAX EX

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on your MAX EX.

• Unplug base unit and conferencing pod from the wall outlet before cleaning.

• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth moistened with water to

clean the outside of your conferencing pod or base unit and power supply.

Electrical considerations

• Use only the power adapter that comes with your conferencing phone.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with your MAX EX, it might be improperly set up or other
equipment might be malfunctioning.To begin, check for the following or consult the chart
on the next page:

• The MAX EX base unit is plugged into the proper volt electrical outlet and its

power light is on.

• Make sure cables are securely connected.

• The equipment the other party is using is comparable in quality to your MAX EX

conferencing phone and is working properly. While the MAX EX works with speak-
erphones, cell phones, handsets or installed conferencing systems, the quality of the
conference will be impacted if the party you are conferencing with has poor
quality equipment.
