2.10 Testing the Coverage Range

Your digital wireless telephone will continue to operate effectively as
you move some distance away from the base unit. Many circum-
stances affect the maximum distance that you can travel away from
the base unit's location. Among these are walls and other obstruc-
tions that separate you from the base unit's location. It is a good
practice to test the maximum coverage range that your digital
wireless telephone delivers when you first install it so that you will
know how far you can travel away from the base unit's location and
still have effective communications.
To test the coverage location,
1. disconnect the station line cord from the base unit,
2. ensure that the AC adapter is connected to the base unit,
3. lift the handset and verify that the display shows NO COMM,
4. press Talk,
5. if the handset is in range, the display shows IN RANGE and the
handset sounds a single tone burst,
or,
if the handset is out of range, the display shows NO SERVICE
and the handset sounds three tone bursts,
6. move away from the base unit's location in an ever-increasing
distance while repeating the above test until you no longer get
an IN RANGE display—the maximum distances in any direc-
tion at which you can get the IN RANGE display and hear the
single tone burst defines the coverage range limits,
7. hang up the handset and reconnect the station line cord to end
the range testing.
