Getting Started
Base Station Installation
1.
Install base station antenna.
Note
:
The base station’s antenna port has a reverse-thread
connector; to install antenna or cable, turn counter-
clockwise; to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation
may damage the connector.
2.
Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC
adaptor into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug
the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the
base station.
Note:
1. The base adaptor’s DC plug is larger in dimension than
the charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug
will not fit into the base’s DC In jack.
2. The base station’s power supply (DC Adaptor) and
telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector
with phone line protection.
3. It is recommended to use an UPS (Uninterruptible Power
Supply) to prevent lost of telephone services in a power
outage.
3.
Plug one end of the phone cord into one of the 4
phone jacks marked L1 – L4 and plug the other end
into the telephone outlet. Since EP-490 has the built-
in “line detection” feature, it is okay to plug in the
phone jacks in random order.
4.
For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1
meter (about 3 feet) between the base station and other
electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax
machine, answer machine, cordless phone, etc.)
