Electrical Safety Guidelines
DANGER: Do not work on the Mitel TA7100 unit, connect or disconnect its cables
during periods of lightning.
DANGER: Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
WARNING: Disconnect all interface cables (including PRI, BRI, FXS and FXO) before
unplugging any power sources from the TA7100 unit.
WARNING: Disconnect all interface cables (including PRI, BRI, FXS and FXO) as well
as all power sources connected to the TA7100 unit before servicing the unit.
WARNING: This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel.
Incorrectly connecting this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could be hazardous.
WARNING: This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC,
15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-
carrying conductors).
WARNING: The unit must be grounded at all times when in use.
WARNING: Do not connect the ETH2, ETH1, and FXS connectors directly to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), to an off premise application, an out of plant
application, any exposed plant application, or to any equipment other than the intended
application, connection may result in a safety hazard, and/or defective operation and/or
equipment damage. Exposed plant means where any portion of the circuit is subject to
accidental contact with electric lighting or power conductors operating at a voltage
exceeding 300V between conductors or is subject to lightning strikes.
WARNING: The TA7100 unit must be installed on a circuit equipped with a breaker so
that you can easily power the unit off if required.
WARNING: Hazardous network voltages may be present in PRI and FXO cables.
Always disconnect the cables from the TA7100 unit first to avoid possible electric
shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the device in the area of the
PRI and FXO port, even when power is turned OFF.
WARNING: Hazardous network voltages might be present in WAN, LAN, Sync and
telephony cards connectors regardless of whether power to the device is OFF or ON.
Use caution when working near these connectors to avoid electric shock.
WARNING: The socket outlet, if used, shall be located near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible by the user. The AC adapter inlet is considered as a disconnection
device. The device must be readily operational.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cords.
CAUTION: The RJ-11 cable should comply with UL 1863 and CSA C22.2 No 233
standards.
General Safety Practices
WARNING: Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
WARNING: Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture to avoid any shock hazard.
WARNING: Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
WARNING: Do not get this product wet or pour liquids into it.
WARNING: Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all
national laws and regulations.
• Keep your TA7100 unit clear and dust-free during and after installation.
• Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then,
if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power.

powering the unit.
Location Requirements
To avoid premature aging of the unit, ensure user security and facilitate access, upgrades
and maintenance, the following guidelines must be followed:
• Install the Mitel unit:
• on a standard 48.26 cm (19 in.) equipment rack.
• on a flat surface (desk, table, etc.).
• Install the Mitel unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures or humidity.
• Storage temperature: -20ºC to +40ºC.
• Humidity lower that 85% and non-condensing.
• Do not install the Mitel unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near stoves or
radiators.
• Excessive heat could damage the internal components.
• The unit should be positioned to be accessible for future upgrade, maintenance
and troubleshooting and where cables can be easily connected.
• Maintain a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance around the unit.
• Keep airflow around and through the vents of the unit clear of any obstruction.
• Do not put books or paper on the unit.
Installing the Unit on the Wall
IMPORTANT: Before performing this procedure, you must first read and understand the
Safety Recommendations listed in this document.
NOTE: Consider writing down the Product Serial Number on a document that is easy to
access before performing the installation of the unit.
1. Unpack the unit and go through the Package check list.
2. Do not connect any cables to the unit.
3. Make sure the wall is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy.
NOTE: If necessary, install a 250 mm x 200 mm x 12 mm (10 inches x 8 inches x 0.5
inches) piece of plywood on the wall.
4. Apply the Bumpon™ autoadhesive protection to the bottom of the unit.
NOTE: This will improve the airflow under the unit.
5. Position the unit against the wall (or plywood).
6. Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall.
7. Drill two holes on the markings.
8. Install a screw in each hole.
9. Align the screw holes of the unit over the screws installed on the wall, and hang the
unit.
