However, when using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to person, and damage to property. General Safety Instructions 1. When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the safety of others:
a. Always watch where you are walking and standing. b. Dont let a phone call distract you from working safely. c. If power goes out, it wont work. Recommend backup power. 2. In an emergency:
a. If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone number. Remember: if you are in an area where your phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate the nearest landline telephone or other communications device to call for help. b. Emergency calls may not automatically provide emergency personnel with your name, phone number or location. 3. Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids. 4. Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done by the US FDA and others have shown that, although interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur when operating very closely, wireless telephones do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers. However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your handset immediately. Product Safety Instructions 1.

Getting Started Base Station Installation For best performance, maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answer machine, cordless phone, etc.) 1. Install base station antenna. The base stations antenna port has a reverse-thread connector; to install antenna or cable, turn counter-clockwise; to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation may damage the connector. 2. Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end into the DC In jack on the back of the base station. a. The base adaptors DC plug is larger in dimension than the chargers DC plug. The charger adaptors DC plug will not fit into the bases DC In jack. b. The base stations power supply (DC Adaptor) and telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector with phone line protection. 3. Plug one end of the phone cord into one of the 4 phone jacks marked L1
~ L4 and plug the other end into the telephone outlet. Since DuraFon PRO has the built-in line detection feature, it is okay to plug in the phone jacks in random order. 4. Connect an external telephone answering device by following the instructions that come with the answering device. An exemplary configuration: install the external answering device in-between the wall phone jack(s) and the Base Station. Either a multiple of single-line answering devices or a multiple-line answering device can be used. 5. To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect one end of a 15 standard audio cable into a radio or audio player, and plug the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH jack on back of the base. 6. To ground the grounding wire Insert the grounding wire (enclosed in the box). a. Loosen the screw of grounding jack (
b. c. Tighten the screw. d. Connect the grounding wire to the ground.
) on the rear of base. 16 Re: Proper grounding is very important to protect the base station from the external noise and to reduce the risk of electrocution in the event of a lightning strike. Notes:
Recommended phone line features from the local phone company:
Multiple phone lines hunt group is a useful feature and works well with this phone system. This feature ties multiple phone lines to a single phone number. When an outside caller calls this common phone number, the phone company automatically finds a free line. In a hunt group, the Call Waiting and the Caller ID with Call Waiting (or called Type II Caller ID) features are unnecessary because a 2nd call will come in on a separate line, rather than on the same line. For a 2nd call coming in on a separate line, the phone systems built-in Call Waiting feature will alert the user and allow the user to toggle between 2 lines. Multi-base setups:
EnGenius DuraFon PRO has the capability to expand the coverage or capacity. Re: For best performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters
(about 30 feet) between any two base stations.
Expanding coverage :
PBX Legacy Parallel connects all L1/L2/L3/L4 in each base as below schematic(up to 8 bases), the use coverage will be several times increased. Note: Telephone calls cannot be handed off between base units. Re : when a call is coming in from L1, all handsets can pick up the call, as long as the handsets are in the coverage of base1~3.

Basic Operations Operation Modes The base station has levels of operation at which time only certain procedures of functions can be performed. Base Operation Modes 1. IDLE mode- this is the default mode. The intercom, broadcast, and volume keys are active in IDLE mode. 2. TALK mode- the base operates in this mode during a phone call, intercom use, and broadcast operation. The In Use, Intercom, and Broadcast LED will light up respectively. 3. REGISTRATION mode- the base enters this mode by pressing the REG button for three seconds. There are no active base unit keys once this mode has been entered. Four LEDs will light up in Registration mode. 19 20 Technical Specifications Electrical Specifications Frequency RF Power Channel Spacing Number of Channels Modulation Multiple Access Frequency Hopping Rate TDMA Frame Length Number of Slots/Frame Number of Users/Carrier Receiver Sensitivity Antenna Connector Antenna Gain TX Power Control Range Telephone Interface Speech Coding Channel Coding Transmission Data Rate User Data Rate Duplex Voice Quality No. of System ID Ring Signal Auto-Attendant Coding Flash Time Power Source Charger Current Charge Time Regulation Compliance Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Humidity Dimension without antenna Weight Base Station 902-928 MHz Peak: 708 mW Average: 304 mW 200 kHz 128 MSK Frequency Hopping TDMA 100 per second 10 ms 8 4
