BASE STATION 90° Fasten both antennas onto the connectors on the back of the base station . angle Tighten at 90° angle . Set up base station where no objects are blocking the line-of-sight from base station to the beltpacs . If base station can not be set up with no objects in line-of-sight between it and the beltpacs, install the antennas away from the base station .
Optional Battery Operation of Base Station A base station can operate on battery power when AC power is unavailable . NOTE: Always plug base station into AC power when available . To conserve battery power, turn the base station off when it is not being used . Typical base station battery life when used continuously is as follows: Energizer ULTIMATE Lithium .
Spectrum Friendly Interference Avoidance ™ Multiple base stations can operate on high or low parts of the frequency band to prevent interference, which may be characterized as popping sounds in the headset . For example, with four base stations, set two on low band and set the other two on high band as follows: Turn the base station power on .

OPTIONAL REMOTE ANTENNA INSTALLATION It may be necessary to place the antennas away from the base station if it is not possible to avoid obstructions between it and the beltpacs and/or all-in-one headsets . Remote antenna kits with either 6 foot (1 .83 meter) or 30 foot (9 .14 meter) cables can be used to mount the antennas wherever necessary to alleviate this problem .
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT CONNECTION Auxiliary equipment such as audio/video recorder or a hardwired intercom can be connected to the rear panel of the base station . Equipment requiring 4-Wire audio interfacing, such as audio/video recorders or hardwired intercoms, can be connected to the 10-pin connector and plugged into the rear panel of the base station .
