Installation
1.
Remove the
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit from its packaging carton and inspect for any possible
damage. If the unit is damaged or if any components are missing, please contact your
Talkaphone distributor immediately. Do not discard any hardware or packaging prior to
checking for all included components listed above, and the unit is installed and functioning
correctly.
2.
Remove the three (3) Phillips screws from the right side of the unit which secure the hinged
front cover shut.
3.
Remove the packaged front cover door handle from the telephone compartment and install to
the outside surface of the unit using the provided screws.
4.
Carefully open the hinged front cover taking care there are no loose items which may have
shifted during transportation.
5.
The
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit may be either surface mounted or flush mounted to a wall.
NOTE:
For flush mounting units,
AOR-8 / AOR-16
units should be ordered with the
available AOR-TR16 Flush Mount Trim Ring (sold separately).
NOTE:
Conduit knockouts exist on the rear, top, and bottom sides of the enclosure for
access to power and communication lines. Determine the method of bringing in these
power and communication lines
before
mounting the enclosure.
NOTE:
Whenever possible, it is best to keep the maximum clearance possible between
analog phone lines and alternating current. Running phone lines too close to hot VAC
lines will produce undesired effects on the phone line.
6.
For surface mounting the unit directly to the surface of an interior wall:
The
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit has six (4) surface mounting keyholes.
7.
For flush mounting the unit:
The
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit has eight (8) 7/32 [in] knockouts located on the top, bottom and
sides which can be used for either mounting the unit within a wall or to fasten the available
AOR-TR16
Flush Mount Trim Ring. This trim ring may be installed in contact with the closed
cover without inhibiting the functionality of the hinge.
