Note:
- Refer to the power supply unit information in the Installation and Operating Instructions on the Panasonic Web site for information about connections for power supply units.
- See "3.1.1 Lobby station DIP switch settings" for information about lobby station DIP switch settings.
- See "3.1.2 Distributor DIP switch settings" for information about distributor DIP switches when using bus wiring.
- Insert the wires fully into the connection terminals. After inserting the wires, pull slightly on each wire to make sure it is firmly connected.

Using the extension box and distributor
Important:
- When using bus wiring, do not connect wires from main monitors to the terminals on the rear of the lobby station's button modules.
- When connecting to an extension box:
-Set all DIP switches of the extension box (VL-V703) to off.
-Do not connect wires to connectors 2 to 4 for the V700/VM701 on the extension box (VL-V703).
—Cannot monitor from the main monitor.
Set DIP switch "8" for the lobby station to the "on" position (prohibits monitoring).
See "3.1.1 Lobby station DIP switch settings".
- Wiring is non-polarised.

Note the following when selecting wiring
- Use 2-conductor (solid copper) wiring with a PE (polyethylene)-insulated PVC jacket. Mid-capacitance, non-shielded cable is recommended.
- A certified power supply wiring has to be used with this equipment. The relevant national installation and/or equipment regulations shall be considered. A certified power supply wiring not lighter than ordinary polyvinyl chloride flexible wiring according to IEC 60227 shall be used.
- When an extension box is connected, the maximum wire length from the lobby station to the distributor does not change.
