Base Station Installation

There are three possible base station setups:
Base station alone
Base station plus telephone answering device
Base station plus standard telephone
For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter (about 3 feet)
between the base station and other electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer,
stereo, fax machine, answer machine, cordless phone, etc.)
1. Install base station antenna.
The base station's antenna port has a reverse-thread
connector; to install antenna or cable, turn counter-clockwise;
to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation may damage
the connector.
2. Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor
into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end
into the "DC In" jack on the back of the base station.
a. The base adaptor's DC plug is larger in dimension than the
charger's DC plug. The charger adaptor's DC plug will not
fit into the base's DC In jack.
b. The base station's power supply (DC Adaptor) and
telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector
with phone line protection.
3. Plug one end of the phone cord into one of the 4 phone jacks
marked L1 – L4 and plug the other end into the telephone
outlet. Since DuraFon 4X has the built-in "line detection"
feature, it is okay to plug in the phone jacks in random order.
4. Connect an external telephone answering device by follow
instructions that come with the answering device. An
exemplary configuration: install the external answering device
in-between the wall phone jack(s) and the Base Station.
Either a multiple of single-line answering devices or a multiple-
line answering device can be used. You may want to disable
the Base Station's Auto-Attendant function if that interferes
with the external device's built-in Auto-Attendant.
5. To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect one end
of a standard audio cable into a radio or audio player, and plug
the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH jack on back of the base.
Notes:
Recommended phone line features from the local phone
company: Multiple phone lines "hunt group" is a useful feature
and works well with this phone system. This feature "ties"
multiple phone lines to a single phone number. When an
outside caller calls this common phone number, the phone
