Safety precautions
l Your telephone is a wall-mounted telephone and designed for operation on an
analogue telephone line (analogue access with standard requirements) via the plug
of the telephone connecting cord. It can be connected to main lines and extensions.
l Always remove the plug of the telephone connecting cord from the wall socket
before opening the alpha open air! (Exception: when programming the unit.
Only the SET key located on the main board of the phone may be actuated
(see drawing 4).)
l Allow repairs by authorized specialists only!
l Do not use or install your phone in rooms with danger of explosion and near
electromagnetic fields (e. g. domestic appliances, TV sets or video recorders)!
l The last step when beginning operation is to plug the telephone connecting cord
into the wall socket!
l The first step when ending operation is to remove the plug of the telephone
connecting cord from the wall socket!
l The telephone connecting cord is only to be plugged into the designated socket!
l The telephone connecting cord is immediately to be removed from the socket if
there is danger of touching conductive parts due to improper use!
l Using the phone during thunderstorms is on one's own risk!
l Your telephone should only be passed on to third parties if the operating
instructions are included!
l When the telephone has reached the end of its service life, it should be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner!
l Danger in case of noncompliance with safety precautions
Your telephone is state of the art. However, it may be dangerous if the telephone is
not mounted and installed by qualified personnel.
l Prohibition to make any changes or modifications
The mechanical design as well as all safety-related matters of the telephone may
not be changed or modified without prior and express consent of the manufacturer.
In no event shall FMN be liable for any damages caused by such unauthorized
modification of the unit. Especially all kinds of repair and soldering works on the
main board (PCB) are prohibited.
ESD protection measures
Comply with the ESC protection measures according to
DIN EN 61340-5-1/-2 when opening the unit (potential equaliza-
tion between body and ground of the unit as well as ground of
the casing via high-value resistance (approx. 1 MOhm) e. g. usual
wrist band).

3. Mounting instructions
You can mount the alpha open air on a wall or a pole.
It can be mounted on a pole using two mounting clips (not within the delivery scope)
which are screwed on the 4 fixing holes of the back panel of the casing.
The cable entry for the telephone connecting cord is foreseen at the bottom of the
back compartment (as supplied). It can also be lead through the back panel of the

outside. Please follow the instructions below:
3.1 Mounting on a wall with cable entry at the bottom of the casing
1. Mark the 4 fixing points on the wall according to drawing 1 or the drilling template
(see last page of instructions).
2. For mounting on a solid wall: drill holes into the marked fixing points and put dow-
els into the drilled holes (e. g. 8 mm dowels); for mounting on a wood wall etc.:
drill holes (∅4 mm) into the marked fixing points.
3. Take the alpha open air out of the packaging. Remove the front panel from the
back compartment by loosening the 4 Security-TORX screws (tool: offset screw
driver). Unplug the connector of the handset and the telephone connecting cord
from the main board (PCB), lay the front panel aside.
