Important Cordless Telephone Installation Information
DS1000/2000 900 MHz Cordless Telephone Installation Tips
•
The cordless telephone base unit plugs into a
digital
station port.
•
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,
fl
uorescent 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.
•
Always raise the base unit antenna to its full vertical position.
•
When installing more than one cordless telephone in the same site:
-
Be sure the base units are at least 15 feet apart.
-
After installation, change each telephone’s channel by pressing
CH
on the handset. This will
minimize interference between your cordless telephones. There are 30 available channels.
•
The handset must charge 5-8 hours in its charger prior to initial use.
•
The Nickel Metal Hydride Rechargeable Battery Pack is recyclable. If you replace a battery
pack, always dispose of the old pack along with your other recyclable materials.
