Model 117A4 Carrier Installation Instructions Understanding Carriers

Positioning Your Carrier(s)

Each carrier holds up to six radio modules. Each radio module and its corresponding handset operates within a single zone of coverage.

Approximately

500 to 900 feet in a typical office building; up to 1200 feet in

an unobstructed environment

Single Radio Module, Single Carrier, or Multiple Carriers

The range of your handset(s) depends on your particular operating environment. For indoor use, walls between the handset and the radio module will reduce the phone’s range. Avoid concentrations of structural metal, such as steel and aluminum, and reinforced concrete.

The MDW telephones have a built-in testing feature that you can use before final installation to help determine proper placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in the handset (you do not need a communications system switch/control unit).
