H. Install the Basestation
Choose a Location
Generally, the Basestation should be located centrally, and close to the order takers. However there are several important guidelines that
must be followed to reduce the risk of problems. Follow the guidelines to ensure that the Basestation(s) can communicate with headsets in
any foreseeable location:
• Do not assume that the location of an old Basestation is suitable for a new Basestation.
• The LCD screen should be approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) from the floor.
• The Basestation should be at least 3 ft (1 m) from large metallic fixtures or appliances.
• The Basestation should be within 6 ft (2 m) of a 110VAC, 15A or 20A electrical outlet.
• The Basestation should be placed away from inside corners, airborne grease, and moisture.
• Easily visible and the keypad accessible.
Pre-Testing the Location
Before you permanently mount the Basestation(s), one person can pre-test the signal using the following procedure:
•
Temporarily mount the Basestation where you think it may have good range.
• Power the Basestation.
• Register two headsets.
• Change the order-taking mode to Always On.
• Put on two headsets.
• Tap the talk button on one of the headsets.
• Walk around the location, talking as you walk.
• If you can hear yourself in the other headset in all desirable order-taker positions, the Basestation is in a
suitable location.
• If you cannot hear yourself in the other headset in all desirable order-taker positions, the Basestation should be moved to
a different location.
To ensure the best operating range for your system, locate the Basestation where it is not within three feet of or blocked by large
steel structures such as doors, walls, or large appliances.
If you plan to use an outside order taker, be sure that the Basestation’s range includes the outside order-taker location.
If the best location you find is still unable to communicate to all areas, you may need to install an external antenna.
Removing and Replacing the Cover
To remove the Basestation cover:
•
Disconnect power from the Basestation.
• Loosen the two screws located at the bottom of the cover.
• Lift the cover upward and away. The display and keypad remain with the base, not with the cover.
