Using the signal strength test and the voice quality test together, you can determine:

Note: To properly test the installation, test with the handset antenna down
and place all handsets into Wireless Test Mode at the same time.
At no more than 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.1 m) from its radio module, use the following
procedure:
1 Make sure the handset is turned off.
2 Enter Wireless Test Mode. See “Using Wireless Test Mode” on page page 61.
The handset emits a simulated dial tone, which continues until you exit Wireless

test ports (Power LED = Line 1, Control LED = Line 2).
The Wireless Test Mode results screen displays.

The display should show a 9 or 10 for signal strength (an occasional 8 is
acceptable) for both handset (H) and base (B).
The display should show a 9 or 10 for voice quality (an occasional 8 is
acceptable) for both handset (H) and base (B).
Individual set readings below 9 or 10 (an occasional 8 is acceptable) can illustrate
problems with individual handset/base combinations. If all set readings are below
these numbers, it could indicate problems with the installation or interference from
other 900 MHz devices.
