Pre-Testing the Location
Before you permanently mount the base station(s), one person can pre-test the
signal using the following procedure:
1. Temporarily mount the base station where you think it may have good
range.
2. Power the base station.
3. Register two headsets.
4. Change the order taking mode to Always On.
5. Put on two headsets.
6. Tap the talk button on one of the headsets.
7. Walk around the location, talking as you walk.
1. If you can hear yourself in the other headset in all desirable
order-taker positions, the base station is in a suitable location.
2. If you cannot hear yourself in the other headset in all desirable
order-taker positions, the base station should be move to a
different location.
Important Notes:
To ensure the best operating range for your system, locate the base station
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 base station’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.

1. Disconnect power from the base station.
2. Loosen the two screws located at the bottom of the cover.

1. Verify there are no obstructions (tools, etc.) in the way of the cover
being closed.
2. Align the top edge of the cover with the base.
3. Swing the bottom half of the cover down into place and gently push it
against the base until it locks into place. Tighten the two screws
located at the bottom of the cover.
