Edge of Range Test
Note: To guarantee proper site coverage during this test, walk with the handset
antenna down.
1 After performing the close up test, periodically check the signal strength and
voice quality as you walk away from the radio module.
Note: Each time you press the Softkey ( ) below Man, new manual
readings will display.
If you press the Softkey ( ) below Auto, automatic test readings will
display every three seconds. The automatic condition will continue until
either the Manual Softkey button is pressed, or you exit Wireless Test
Mode.
2 When you see a signal strength of 3 and a voice quality level of 7 or 8 for both
handset (H) and base (B), and the power level shows H=8 and B=8, the voice
quality should be satisfactory. This is the edge of your usable range.
Note: The distance will vary depending on the environment, building structure,
and other factors. The range in an average office building is 500 to 900
feet (152.5 to 274.5 m). If, however, dense walls intervene, the distance
could be less.
