On/Off Figure 3: Remote-Unit Block Diagram Audio Performance The CA12CD audio processing is 32k ADPCM, telephony bandwidth. A wide range of audio levels can be achieved using the coarse-adjust and fine-adjust controls provided for both the transmit and the receive channels. See the User Guide and the Audio-Level Settings card (both available online) for details on optimizing these controls for the best audio performance.
• Repositioning the interference source, if known If the CA12CD base or remote is placed within a few inches of a cellular phone, the CA12CD may experience interference. Reposition the cellular phone or the CA12CD base or remote to increase the separation if this problem occurs.
CA12CD’s frequency band, or by the presence of a large number of other CA12CDs in the immediate area. Range can be maximized by taking the following steps: • Maximizing the amount of separation between the CA12CDs • Placing the CA12CDs so that they are separated by items such as cubicle walls and furniture •...
Frequency Hopping The CA12CD avoids two users sharing the same channel and timeslot under normal circumstances because it chooses the best available channel, and will change channels if the channel in use experiences interference from another user. In the event of...
Subscription The CA12CD remote and base are paired uniquely. The process by which the remote and the base are paired is called, “subscription.” Please see the User Guide for step-by-step instructions for subscribing a base and a remote to each other.
