1 Introduction
The Radio Fixed Part (RFP) is designed with two
internal antennas and supports antenna diversity.
The RFP is also able to carry out handover between
the RF channels under the same RFP, and handles
four wireless speech channels simultaneously. The
RFP is able to frame synchronise with other RFP’s
under the same Central Control Fixed Part (CCFP).
Transmission lenght is up to 1 km on a twisted pair
(in one building), e.g. cat.4, between the RFP and
CCFP. The RFP is also power supplied from this
connection (maximum supply 1.5 W). The radius of
coverage is up to 300 meters with a handset in free
sight. It is possible to connect a maximum of 8
RFP’s to a CCFP without an expansion board, 16
RFP’s with an expansion board and 32 with a link
system.
2 Installation
First you have to determine where to install the RFP
to have the right coverage. The average coverage
within buildings is 75 meters. The coverage
depends on the construction of the building, archi-
tecture and choice of building material. You may
have to use the RFP coverage determination kit
(deployment tool) to optimize your installation.
This deployment tool (accessories), consists of an
RFP which has no need for a CCFP. It can easily be
moved around in the building and 1 to 8 handsets
can be connected.
Pull the a/b wire from your installation through the
wall holder and then mount the wall holder on the
wall.
Connect the a/b wire to the plug on the backside of
the RFP, using the 2 inner connectors of the plug.

If you need to remove the Base Station please sepa-
rate it from the wall holder with a gentle push of a
screwdriver.
“Click” the RFP on to the wall holder.
After the CCFP is powered up again a cable lenght
measurement is needed.
NOTE!
Cable dimensions min. as AWG 26.

NOTICES
NOTICE: Before installing this equipment, users sho-
uld ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications compa-
ny. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer sho-
uld be aware that compliance with the above conditi-
ons may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated
by a representative designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equi-
pment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele-
communications company cause to request the user
to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This pre-
caution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTIONS: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrici-
an, as appropriate.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the tele-
phone network, the telephone company may ask you
to disconnect the system from the line until the pro-
blem has been corrected or they may discontinue
your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify
you in advance, But if advance notice is not practi-
cal, you should be notified as soon as possible. You
will be informed of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the proper functioning of your telephone
system, If they do and it is possible, you will be noti-
fied in advance to give you an opportunity to mainta-
Base station 1405 7101 ed1 05/10/01 10:57 Side 10
in uninterrupted telephone service. If you experience
trouble with this telephone system, disconnect it from
the network until the problem has been corrected or
until you are sure that the equipment is not malfu-
nctioning.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection aga-
inst harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equi-
pment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encou-
raged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the seperation between the equioment
and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connec-
ted.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your
cordless telephone will not operate. The cordless
telephone requires electricity for operation. You sho-
uld have a telephone which does not require electri-
city available for use during power outages.
Information to user: The users manual or instructi-
on manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator
shall caution the user that changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to opera-
te the equipment.
