About this Guide

The Outdoor Base Station is designed to withstand environmental
hazards such as rain and excessive heat and cold. The outdoor
enclosure is mounted into position and the Base Station is then
installed within it. The entire unit is then referred to as an Outdoor
Base Station.

This document covers the installation of the Outdoor Base Station
in a variety of situations. It supplements the installation
documentation for the SpectraLink 6000 System using either the
SpectraLink 6300 MCU or the SpectraLink 6100 MCU.
