Installation procedure
The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
 Identifying potential sources of interference
 Assessing the subscriber site
 Testing the location for signal strength
 Identifying and acquiring the required system components
 Installing the system
 Testing prior to departing site
Interference considerations
The electronic circuitry of some telephones may be
insufficiently shielded to operate properly with the FWT.
When making or receiving a phone call, if you hear a
“humming” sound or noise in the earpiece of the telephone
connected to the FWT, or if the other party hears the hum
or noise, move the telephone away from the FWT. If
moving it farther away has no effect, try using a different
telephone.
IMPORTANT
*
The FWT is a two–way radio and as such, some occasional interference
is unavoidable. For best results, choose an electrical outlet away from
obstructions. The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Do
not place the FWT near items which may increase static, such as:
 electrical appliances
 lamps
 microwaves
 TVs
 FAX machines
 computers.
 refrigerator
 vacuum cleaner
 baby monitor
 light dimmers
 fluorescent bulbs
 motors
 fans
Assessing the subscriber site
Determine the approximate location for the unit and telephone and
whether or not the unit is to be desk/table top or wall mounted.
