7.

 

Check location of the Wireless Base Station and external antenna location. The 
Wireless  Base  Station  should  not  be  installed  inside  metal  enclosures  or  any 
other location closer than 4 inches to a metal object or surface.

Digital  Intercoms,  set  the  volume  level  as  high  as  possible  on  the  Intercom 
without  causing  distorted  audio  on  the  Headset,  and  then  adjust  the  volume 
control on the Headset for comfortable listening. 

3.

 

Ensure that the proper Wireless Base Station model for your Intercom is used. 

4.

 

Poor  quality  audio  can  be  caused  by  a  defective  Headset.  Confirm  operation 
with a Headset known to be functioning properly. 

Audible interference from portable and mobile radios. 

The  wireless  system  is  tested  and  proven  to  be  immune  to  interferences  from 
portable  and  mobile  communication  equipment  operated  anywhere  in  the 
frequency  spectrum  from  30MHz  to  18GHz.  However,  care  should  be  taken  with 
installation of communication cables between the  Intercom and the Wireless Base 
Station. These cables should be routed away from portable and mobile radios and 
antenna cabling in order to prevent RF interference from such devices.  

If a problem persists contact Firecom Service for additional help.
