Important Cordless Telephone Installation Information
DS1000/2000 900 MHz Cordless Telephone Installation Tips
• The cordless telephone base unit plugs into a digital station port.
• For best results, the base unit should be placed in line-of-site with its handset.
• Cordless telephone range and reception can vary from site to site. Some of the things that
may adversely affect range and reception are:
- Placing the base against or close to a wall (particularly if the wall has metal studs).
- Positioning the base close to a device that emits Electromagnetic Interference (EMI),
such as a TV, radio, computer, fluorescent light, fax machine, or printer.
- Installing the base close to other 900 Mhz devices, such as Symbol or Telex hand-held
inventory devices.
- Installing the base above a ceiling that uses foil-backed insulation.
- Installing the base behind a door which can be closed, tinted windows, or one-way glass
which will separate the base from the handset.
• Always raise the base unit antenna to its full vertical position.
• When installing more than one cordless telephone in the same site:
- Be sure the base units are at least 15 feet apart.
- Do not install more than 12 cordless telephones in an area of close proximity.
- After installation, change each telephone’s channel by pressing CH on the handset. This will
minimize interference between your cordless telephones. There are 30 available channels.
• The handset must charge 5-8 hours in its charger prior to initial use.
• The Nickel Metal Hydride Rechargeable Battery Pack is recyclable. If you replace a battery
pack, always dispose of the old pack along with your other recyclable materials.
