1. TheAltecResponsewillusuallybedeskmountedwithin3metresofanelectricsupply,ifanextensioncableisnecessary
careshouldbetakentoensurethatnoonecantripoverthelead.

2. TheAltecResponseshouldnotbelocatedwithin2metresofaDECTtelephonebasestation,failuretoprovidethis
separationmayresultinreducedrangeoftheAltecradiodevices.

N
OncetheelectricsupplyispluggedinandswitchedontheAltecResponsedisplaywillilluminate.
