•
Always locate your base stations so that they have, as much as possible, clear line of sight in the area
you want to cover. Any solid wall, doorway, fridge, plant room area or mezzanine floor in immediate
proximity in front of the base station will reduce range.
•
The base station must be positioned upright on the wall and secured with both attaching screws.
•
The base should be located a minimum 3m (9ft) from floor level unless the ceiling is lower, in which
case as high as you can.

Network coverage A - Small store layout
In Network coverage A, a single base is sufficient. The shading shows how the range of a single base
covers the whole premises in this instance.
In Network coverage B, three bases are required to cover the three separate distinct areas. When
planning the positioning of the bases there should be a 5m (15ft) overlap in the signal from two
interconnecting bases to allow the headsets to switch between bases seamlessly. If the call drops
when moving from one base to another, move them closer together by at least 5m.
