Clear Floor or Ground Space [4.31.2], Mounting Height [4.31.3]
Generally, access can be provided with either a forward or side approach. Where multiple banks are provided on a floor (or exterior site), at least one accessible phone must provide a forward approach (considered more convenient in the use of phones).
Forward Approach
Clear floor space is required to the face of the unit; a portion can be provided below the unit where clearance is available for toes/knees. (Since the seated forward reach does not extend far beyond the toes, knee space can make it easier to reach to the phone).
Side Approach
The maximum reach depth for a high (54 inch maximum) reach is 10 inches, measured from the clear floor space.
