VI. Installation

1. Remove the AOR-5 / AOR-10 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 ensuring that the unit is installed and functioning as expected.

2. Model Configurations without Latched Door:

Remove the six (6) screws from the stainless steel front panel. Carefully take the panel off the

enclosure—there are cables connected to the front panel.

Model Configurations with Latched Door:

Open the latched door and remove the packaged front cover door handle. Install the handle onto

the outside surface of the latched door using the provided screws.

Remove the six (6) screws from the stainless steel front panel. Carefully take the panel off the

enclosure—there are cables connected to the front panel.

3. The AOR-5 / AOR-10 unit may be either surface mounted or flush mounted to a wall.

NOTE: For flush mounting configuration without the latched door, AOR-5 / AOR-10 units

should be ordered with the available AOR-TR10 Flush Mount Trim Ring (sold

separately).

For flush mounting configurations with latched door, AOR-5 / AOR-10 units should be

ordered with the available AOR-TR10-D Flush Mount Trim Ring (sold separately).

NOTE: Conduit knockouts exist on the left, right, and bottom sides of the cabinet 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 lead to noise or interference on the phone line.

4. Surface Mounting onto an Interior Wall:

The AOR-5 / AOR-10 unit has four (4) surface mounting keyholes located on the rear of the

chassis.

5. Flush Mounting into an Interior Wall:

1. General Information

When the push button on the AOR-CSE Station is pressed, it will automatically either ring the

Command Unit handset, the Sub-Command Unit(s), or dial out using the phone line connected

which AOR-CSE Station is calling in. If a call is already in progress, any other calls which

come in will cause the appropriate LED to blink to indicate they are awaiting an open line—if

recorded and configured, the “On Hold” voice message will also playback at the AOR-CSE

Stations in queue. Alternatively, a double ring back will be heard at the AOR-CSE Station(s) in

queue.

As soon as the initial call has been completed, any calls that were waiting will be put through in

the order in which they were placed.
