INSTALLATION STEPS
The AC power supply is shown installed
and plugged in to a standard wall socket
on the Installation Overview (see page v).
The Switcher amplifier requires power to
work with most phones.
Power is not required for the Switcher
when using:
• Avaya Merlin®, System 75/85 phones
• Avaya Definity®and 8400 series phones
Installing batteries
We recommend an AC power supply (included).
Two AA alkaline batteries (not included) may
also be used, but batteries will need to be
replaced frequently.
1. Remove the Battery Access Door located
on the side of the amplifier by placing your
thumb on the door and pushing down.
2. Install two AA alkaline batteries and
replace the door.
3. You will hear three “beeps“ through
the headset when the batteries are low.
