Be sure to review Guidelines for Placing the Base, Figure 3: Correct Installation Methods, and Figure 4:
Incorrect Installation Methods prior to connecting the base unit to the system.
Guidelines for Placing the Base
• For best results, the base unit should be placed in line-of-site with its handset.
• Cordless telephone range and reception can vary from site to site. Some of the things that may
adversely affect range and reception are:
- Placing the base against or close to a wall (particularly if the wall has metal studs).
- Positioning the base close to a device that emits Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), such as a
TV, radio, computer, fluorescent light, fax machine, or printer.
- Installing the base close to other 900 Mhz devices, such as Symbol or Telex hand-held inventory
devices.
- Installing the base above a ceiling that uses foil-backed insulation.
- Installing the base behind a door which can be closed, tinted windows, or one-way glass which will
separate the base from the handset.
