    The Stick in a business or a home-the main considerations for installation really have to do with how you require The Stick to perform and what you are willing to do with it as far as installation requirements go.

    This one can be real difficult due to the materials required and the point of installation for The Stick. Remember, what we are trying to achieve in this scenario is “Barge-In Protection ".

We strongly recommend- no, we beg of you- call a telephone installer for this one. Show your installer the picture on page 26 and/or ask him if he’s got a better idea.
