Assess the intended environment
A supplier needs to know where the phone will be used and what hazards are present. The area classification and intended tasks guide the choice of protection method and configuration.
Select materials and components
The enclosure has to accommodate the handset while meeting its design requirements. Its material, controls, seals, and other parts are considered together as an assembly.
Manufacture and assemble consistently
Critical components and fits must follow the documented design. The completed enclosure and the supported phone model are part of the selection decision.
Install and use the approved configuration
Read the installation instructions for the exact model. Some options require the phone to be sent to the supplier. Confirm the service process before opening, repairing, or replacing parts of a field unit.
