ESI Cordless Handset II connection
Each ESI Cordless Handset II comes with:
• A charger/cradle to charge the Handset.
• An AC adapter for use with only the charger.
• A base station to provide a digital interface between the ESI system and ESI Cordless Handset II.
This base station is line-powered and thus needs no AC power.
• Wall-mount(s), a belt clip, and a Quick Reference Guide.
Base station installation
Due to each site’s unique characteristics, the range and distance information we’ll provide herein is
only approximate.
Characteristics that positively affect performance:
• The base station should be installed so it has a clear line-of-sight with the Cordless Handset II.
• The base station antenna should always be pointed in its uppermost vertical position.
Characteristics that negatively affect performance:
• Large amounts of metal shelving (such as in manufacturing or warehouse areas).
• Close proximity to (within one mile of) a radio tower.
• Concrete walls that divide spaces where Cordless Handsets II are used (assuming the base stations are
in one location).
Don’t install the base station:
• Close to a wall with metal studs.
• On a metal wall.
• Next to a device that emits RFI or EMI

— e.g., a television, radio, computer, computer printer,
fluorescent light fixture, or fax machine.
• In a ceiling that has foil-backed insulation.
• Behind doors that typically are closed, tinted windows, one-way glass, or other areas that limit or
cut off transmission to the Cordless Handset II.
Base stations must be installed at least 10 feet apart. Don’t install more than six base stations in one area
(such as a network room). Choose a location at least 30 feet away if more than six base stations are needed
in a building.
A Digital Cordless Handset II base station requires only a line cord to the ESI system; AC power isn’t needed
because the base station receives power from the system via the line cord.
Note: Your facility may be equipped with one or more optional Cordless Handset II Repeaters. For more
information about this, consult your System Administrator or your Certified ESI Reseller.
