DO NOT install the radio module above a drop or suspended ceiling.

Do not locate the radio module 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 within 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 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.

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 and (if required by distance limitations) an auxiliary power
supply must be used for out-of-building installations.

Note:

You should perform the tests described in

Using Wireless Test Mode

” in

Chapter 5

to determine the optimal placement of the radio module.

Single Zone and Dual Zone Configuration

Multiple radio module units can be installed and configured for single or dual zone
operation.

In a single zone configuration, all radio modules provide communication to the
same
area or zone.

In a dual zone configuration, two sets of radio modules share handsets that can be
operated in two different areas. This type of operation requires two connections to
the associated switch.

You must register the radio module with its associated handset(s). For single zone
operation, each handset must be registered to its associated radio module; each radio
module can be registered with one or two handsets. For a handset being used in a dual
zone configuration, the handset must be registered to a radio module in each of the
two zones. (See

Chapter 4

, “

Registering the Pocket Phone to a Dual Radio Module

for registration information.)
