Before Installation
Please read the following notes concerning installation and connection before installing the
system.
Safety Installation Instructions
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Installation Precautions
This set is exclusively made for wall mounting only. Avoid installing in the following places. (Doing so
may result in malfunction, noise, or discoloration.)
1. In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places. (Temperature range: 0˚C-40˚C/32˚F-104˚F)
2. Sulfuric gases produced in areas where there are thermal springs, etc. may damage the equipment
or contacts.
3. Places in which shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4. Dusty places, or places where water or oil may come into contact with the unit.
5. Near high-frequency generating devices such as sewing machines or electric welders.
6. On or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment, as well as microwave ovens or air
conditioners. (It is preferable not to install in the same room with the above equipment.)
7. Install at least 1.8 m (6 feet) from radios and televisions. (both the main unit and a proprietary
telephone)
8. Do not obstruct area around the main unit (for reasons of maintenance and inspection – be
especially careful to allow space for cooling above and at the sides of the main unit).
Wiring Precautions
Make sure to keep the following instructions when wiring.
1. Do not wire the telephone cable in parallel with an AC power source, computer, telex, etc. If the
cables are run near those wires, shield the cables with metal tubing or use shielded cables and
ground the shields.
2. If cables are run on the floor, use protectors or the like to protect the wires where they may be
stepped on. Avoid wiring under carpets.
3. Avoid using the same power supply outlet for computers, telexes, and other office equipment.
Otherwise, the KX-T206’s system operation may be interrupted by the induction noise from such
equipment.
4. Please use one pair telephone wire for extension connection of (telephone) equipment such as
standard telephones, answering machines, etc., except proprietary telephones (KX-T7130,
KX-T7020, KX-T7050, etc.).
5. The AC cord must be plugged off during wiring. After all the wirings are completed, plug the AC
cord into an AC outlet.
6. Mis-wiring may cause the system to operate improperly.
7. If an extension does not operate properly, disconnect the telephone from the extension line and then
connect again, or plug off the AC cord of the system and then on again.
8. The KX-T206 is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
9. Use twisted pair cable for CO line connection.
10. CO lines should be installed with lightning protectors. For details, see pages 17 and 18.
