Installing the Base Station
This section describes the base station and:
• how to mount the base station on a wall
• what programming is required before you connect the base station to
your system
• how to connect the base station to your system
The T7406 cordless telephone operates on the same principle as a two-
way radio. Therefore, the location of the base station affects the range
of reception. The base station should not be installed where radio waves
are blocked or reflected, such as next to a filing cabinet.
For optimal performance, install the base station at least 2.4 meters
(eight feet) above the floor. Always position the antenna at a 90° angle
to the base station.
