Installing the Base
Connecting the Base
To connect the base to the DS1000/2000 system (Figure 2: Installing the Base) :
1. Install a modular jack within 6 feet of the base and within 6 feet of an available standard (NEMA 5-15R)
120 VAC outlet.
2. Run a single pair of 24 AWG station cable from the cross-connect block to the modular jack.
3. Terminate the station cable WHT/BLU - BLU/WHT leads to the RED and GRN lugs on the modular jack.
4. Back at the main equipment location, run one pair of cross-connect wire between an available digital
station port pins on the extension block and cross-connect block to complete the installation.
5. Install bridging clips as required.
6. Plug one end of a modular line cord into the base LINE IN jack; plug the other end of the line cord into
the modular jack.

Checking the Base LEDs
Normal Operation
■ The Power LED is on.
■ The Cordless and Desk LEDs are off.
Troubleshooting
■ If the Power LED is off, the base power supply is not properly connected.
■ If the Desk LED is flashing, the base is not correctly connected to a digital station circuit in the main
equipment.
Be sure to review Guidelines for Placing the Base, Figure 3: Correct Installation Methods, and Figure 4:
Incorrect Installation Methods prior to connecting the base unit to the system.
Guidelines for Placing the Base
• 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.
