Connecting the cables
This section describes initial system startup procedures for the BCM system and contains the 
following information:
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.
