Setting Up The Telephone And Putting It Into Service; Installation Location/Range - ASCOM EURIT 133 User Manual

Setting up the telephone and putting it into service

Installation location/range

Installation location
Do not position the base station on a me-
tallic surface or in the immediate vicinity of
other electronic appliances such as hi-fi
equipment, office equipment or microwave
ovens; this will prevent any mutual inter-
ference. Also avoid installing the base sta-
tion in the vicinity of heat sources, such as
radiators, or in direct sunlight. For the best
possible range we recommend a central
installation location at the centre of your
radius of action. Avoid installation in niches,
small rooms or behind steel doors. To pre-
vent radio feedback in other telephones,
we recommend the largest possible dis-
tance (min. 1 m) between the base station
or handset and the other telephone.
Setting up your telephone
Your telephone is designed to be used un-
der normal operating conditions. Modern
furniture is treated with an endless variety
of lacquers and plastic coatings. Some of
these substances may contain agents which
will attack or deform the plastic feet of the
base station. If the equipment feet are
chemically altered in this way, they may
leave unsightly marks on the surface of
furniture. Ascom cannot accept any liabil-
ity for damage of this kind. We recommend
that you use a non-slip underlay for your
telephone, especially on new furniture or
furniture treated with lacquer-based pre-
servatives.
Range
The radio range is up to 300 m in the open.
Ambient conditions can affect the range,
as can room and building-related factors.
The effective range is considerably lower
inside buildings than outdoors. Silent zones
can occur due to the digital transmission
in the frequency range used – and also
within the range, depending on the struc-
tural environment. In such cases the trans-
mission quality can be affected by repeated,
short call-interruptions. Normal call quality
can be restored simply by moving slightly
out of the silent zone. If the range is ex-
ceeded, the call will be disconnected shortly
afterwards (if necessary switch on range
warning tone).
Listening protection
The Ascom Eurit 133 transmits the voice
data between base station and handset in
encrypted form (scrambled). As a result any
tapping of your calls by other cordless tel-
ephones, radio receivers, scanners, etc., is
precluded.
