EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of unin-
stalled “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure. This voltage may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important oper-
ating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Caution
CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING
OR SPLASHING AND NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS,

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult and

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fall-
en into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY
Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug
the unit and have it checked by the qualified personnel
before operating it any futher.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not going to be
used for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it
out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-
up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ven-
tilation holes.
INSTALLATION
Do not install the unit in an extremely hot or humid place or
in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
The unit is not designed to be waterproof
CLEANING
Clean the unit with a dry soft cloth. Never use strong sol-
vents such as thinner or benzine as they might damage the
finish of the unit.

Connecting and Mounting the Handset
Frame Construction (New Construction)
1. At the handset location, attach a single gang wall box
(purchase locally) to the wall stud. Normal mounting
height is 60” from the top of the wall box to the floor.
2. Run the category 5 or category 6 cable from the
V
SM4RK or VSM4SK location to the handset location
(250 ft maximum length).
3. Run the cable into the box. Leave approximately 12" of
extra cable in the box.
4. After the finished wall surface has been applied, strip
approximately. 2" of outer protective jacket from the
category 5, or category 6 cable.
5. Separate and strip approximately
1/2" of insulation from each of the
eight wires in the cable. Twist the
following cables together:
• OR and OR/WH
• GR and GR/WH
• BL and BL/WH
• BR and BR/WH
6. Remove the plastic mounting bracket from the handset.
Position the plastic mounting bracket over wire and
attach to the wall box using (2) #6 x 3/4" machine
screws (supplied). Level the plastic mounting bracket
before tightening screws completely
.
7. Attach each of the twisted pair of
wires to the corresponding screw
terminal on the back of the handset.
Tighten each screw securely.
8. Dress extra cable into wall box and position the handset
onto the plastic mounting bracket, then slide the handset
downward to lock into place.
Existing Construction
1
a. At the handset location, a single gang wall box can be
cut into the existing wall surface (maybe required by
local code). Normal height is 58" from center of the hole
to the floor.
1b. At the handset location, drill a 3/8" hole into the wall
d
irectly next to a wall stud. Normal mounting height is
58" from the center of the hole to the floor.
2. Run the category 5 or category 6 cable from the
VSM4RK or VSM4SK location to the handset location
(250 ft maximum length).
3. Run the cable thru the hole (or into the box if used).
Leave approximately 12" of extra cable protruding thru
the hole (or box if used).
4. Strip approximately 2" of outer protective jacket from the
category 5, or category 6 cable.
5. Separate and strip approximately
1/2" of insulation from each of the
eight wires in the cable. Twist the
following cables together:
• OR and OR/WH
• GR and GR/WH
• BL
and BL/WH
• BR and BR/WH
6. Remove the plastic mounting bracket
from the handset. Position the plastic mounting bracket
over wire and attach to a wall stud using (2) #6 x 1 1/4"
screws (supplied) (or two # 6-32 x 3/4" machine screws
(supplied) if a wall box was used). Level the plastic
mounting bracket before tightening screws completely.
7. Attach each of the twisted pair of wires to the correspon-
ding screw terminal on the back of the handset. Tighten
each screw securely.
8. Dress extra cable into the hole (or wall box if used) and
position the handset onto the plastic mounting bracket
