10.10 Testing the Coverage Range
Your digital wireless telephone will continue to operate effec-
tively as you move some distance away from the base unit.
Many circumstances affect the maximum distance that you can
travel away from the base unit’s location. Among these are
walls and other obstructions that separate you from the base
unit’s location. It is a good practice to test the maximum cover-
age range that your digital wireless telephone delivers when
you first install it so that you will know how far you can travel
away from the base unit’s location and still have effective com-
munications.
To test the coverage location,
•
disconnect the station line cord from the base unit,
•
ensure that the AC adapter is connected to the base unit,
•
lift the handset and verify that the display
shows No Comm,
•
press TALK,
•
if the handset is in range, the display shows In range and
the handset sounds a single tone burst,
–or–
•
if the handset is out of range, the display shows NO SER-
VICE and the handset sounds three tone bursts,
•
move away from the base unit’s location in an
ever-increasing distance while repeating the above test un-
til you no longer get an In Range display—the maximum
distances in any direction at which you can receive the In
Range display and hear the single tone burst defines the
coverage range limits,
•
hang up the handset and reconnect the station line cord to
end the range testing.
NOTE: If you should wander out of range while on a call, you will lose
voice contact with your party but your handset will keep its dis-
play and status lights active for approximately 20 seconds. Dur-
ing this 20 second time period, you can step back in range and
resume your conversation. After this approximate 20 second
time period, the handset’s display shows NO SERVICE, the
handset sounds three tone bursts, and the telephone drops the
call.
