Installation Overview for Radio Modules and Carriers
Additional Rules for
Installing a Single
Radio Module Only
16
Never install the radio module or carrier(s) above a drop, suspended ceiling.
•
Do not locate the radio module or carrier(s) within 3 feet (0.9 m) of any large
•
metal object, and be sure no metal objects are in the line of sight to the operating
area of the handset.
•
Do not locate the radio module or carrier(s) within 6 feet (1.8 m) of
equipment with microprocessors, such as answering machines, personal
computers, and fax machines; control units, communications system
switches, or other phones (especially speakerphones); competing radio
devices such as wireless bar-code scanners; electromagnetic equipment such
as electric motors; or electrical main power feeds, junction boxes, circuit-
breaker panels, fuse boxes, or 220-volt power lines.
Be sure the radio module or carrier(s) does not share the same power line as
•
equipment with microprocessors such as answering machines, personal
computers, and fax machines or electromagnetic equipment such as electric
motors.
If your communications system uses an uninterruptible power supply, such as a
•
backup generator, you may want to connect the radio module or carrier(s) to that
power supply.
Installing a single radio module on a shelf or desk is not recommended, because it
•
greatly reduces the range and quality of the transmission.
Install a single radio module within 3 feet (0.9 m) of either side of, and within 6 to
•
8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) above, a properly grounded, 3-prong electrical outlet that is
not controlled by an on/off switch.
You can install a single radio module in a remote location using a telephone line
•
cord to connect the radio module to the communications system switch/control
unit. IROBs must be used for out-of-building installations.
!
CAUTION:
A radio module cannot be installed outdoors.
