From Insignia's Community Message Boards.

I can say with complete certainty that I've never encountered a clean Partner installation. Same with Panasonic. Make it modular and you invite sloppy installation practices.

I have never installed a Partner system , how much programming is involved ?

I could do one start to finish in 5 minutes. 1 minute per phone for the buttons and that's it.

They were / are a great little system. Only knock on it would be somewhat limited capabilities of the voice mail systems.

Under a lot of situations the old Partners were 'almost' plug and play. The default programming would work.
Programming a phone to ring was almost as fast as on a 1A2!

I've seen a few that were truly a work of art. Cables dressed neatly and cut down properly on the blocks. Obviously installed by someone who had cut their teeth on 1A2.

Thanks to all of you for the information . How many pairs are required to put the tel-sets into service ?

2 pairs another neat thing about the partner is you can install a regular phone right on a port or on the Aux. port on a digital phone.

Last question are they wired USOC , 564 ,565 ?

I always wired them either USOC or 568A.
