Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for installing your QuickPort Telephone Wall Jack. Ensure you have the necessary tools before proceeding.
Tools Required:
- Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on screw type)
- Wire Strippers/Cutters (if terminating new telephone wire)
- Punch-down tool (if using a punch-down style QuickPort connector)
- Small level (optional, for aesthetic alignment)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Location: Ensure the electrical box or low-voltage bracket where the wall plate will be installed is clear of debris and properly secured to the wall.
- Connect the QuickPort Connector:
- If you are installing a new QuickPort telephone connector (e.g., RJ11/RJ12 keystone jack), follow the instructions provided with the connector to terminate your telephone cable.
- Ensure the wires are correctly punched down or crimped according to the wiring standard (e.g., T568A or T568B for data, or standard telephone wiring for voice).
- Insert QuickPort Connector into Wall Plate: Carefully snap the terminated QuickPort connector into the opening on the Leviton 4108W-SP wall plate. It should click securely into place.
- Mount the Wall Plate:
- Align the wall plate with the mounting holes on the electrical box or low-voltage bracket.
- Insert the provided mounting screws into the top and bottom holes of the wall plate.
- Tighten the screws until the wall plate is flush and secure against the wall. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plate or the wall.
- Final Check: Verify that the wall plate is securely mounted and the QuickPort connector is firmly in place.
Operation
Once the Leviton QuickPort Telephone Wall Jack is installed, connecting a telephone is straightforward:
- Take the telephone cord from your wall-mounted telephone.
- Insert the RJ11/RJ12 plug of the telephone cord into the QuickPort jack on the wall plate until it clicks into place.
- Ensure the telephone is properly connected to the telephone network.
Your telephone should now be ready for use.
Maintenance
The Leviton QuickPort Telephone Wall Jack 4108W-SP is constructed from durable stainless steel and requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the stainless steel surface, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wall plate for any signs of damage or loose connections. Ensure the mounting screws remain tight.
