Tips on where to install the base station
If you use corded telephones, it is advisable to space telephone and base station as far apart as
possible in order to avoid the possibility of interference (due to technical reasons) on the tele-
phone line.
Install the base station as centrally as possible in the area in which you will be using the tele-
phones, for example:
in the hallway of your apartment,
J
at an easily accessible point in the room,
in a central room in your house, office or apartment,
K
not in a niche in the wall,
not behind metal doors, heavy furniture or metal cabinets,
not in the cellar or roofspace,
L
not at points where thick walls of (reinforced) concrete or metal would block radio signals.
If you are planning to use the telephone on your premises but outside the building, install the
base station:
at window level if possible,
J
in a room overlooking the outdoor area.
Selecting the location
Select the best possible location, bearing the following criteria in mind:
1. The telephone cable has to reach the ISDN socket.
2. The location has to be close to a mains socket for the
220/230V power supply for the base station.
3. To avoid interference, do not locate the base station in the immediate vicinity of oth-
er equipment such as a stereo, office equipment or microwave oven.
The base station is designed for use in protected indoor environments and a temperature
range from 0 to + 50 °C. Do not install the base unit in the bathroom, for example, a utility room
or a damp cellar, or close to sources of heat such as radiators and the like. Do not install the base
station where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Range
The range is approximately 300 meters outdoors, depending on local conditions. The maximum
range indoors is 50 meters, depending on room layout and building structure.
If you move out of range of the base station you lose radio contact and the ON symbol in the
display flashes. If you have activated the range warning signal function (off by default) the audi-
ble warning sounds as you approach the limit of the radio range.
