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 station's 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 adaptor's DC plug is larger in dimension than the charger's DC plug. The charger adaptor's DC plug will not fit into the base's DC In jack.

b.The base station's 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.
