2 Procedure Overview
When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. An incorrectly
performed site survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.
IMPORTANT
• When installing the DECT 6.0 wireless system in an area where another wireless system (2.4
GHz) is already installed, it is necessary to reconduct the site survey to find the optimum
position for the CS. If y ou install the new CS in the same position as the old CS , it may result
in a poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.
• In this case, it is necessary to perform system initialization. For details about the system
initialization procedure, refer to "Starting the PBX" in the Installation Manual for your PBX.
1. Investigate the installation site
Refer to "3 Site Planning".
a. Obtain a map of the CS installation site.
b. Identify the service area required by the user on the map.
c. Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.
2. Prepare for site survey
Refer to "4 Before Site Survey".
a. Check and assign the CS ID number to the PS.
b. Assign a channel number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.
c. Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor/battery box or by connecting them to the PBX.
d. Install each CS temporarily as planned.
Notes
• Install at least 2 m (6 ft 7 in) above the floor.
• Place the antennas so that they are pointing in directions that are 90 degrees apart (for
antenna diversity).
3. Conduct the site survey
Refer to "5 Site Survey".
a. Test the radio signal strength using the PS.
Confirm that the radio signal strength level is "12" near the CS.
Using the KX-TD7685/KX-TD7695
b. By walking away from the CS with the PS, check the radio signal strength. The radio signal strength
weakens as you walk away from the CS.
c. Map the CS coverage area at radio signal strength levels "3" and "8".
d. Make sure that adjacent CS coverage areas meet where the radio signal strength level is "7" to "9".

3 Site Planning
Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location
may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.
Understanding Radio Waves
Characteristics of Radio Waves
The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the
building.
Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment
may create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.
The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.
1. Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.
2. Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.
3. Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.
Relationships between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials
• The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number
of obstacles.
• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.
• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.
• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from
various materials.

penetrate them.
Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron
there is, the more radio waves are reflected.
Glass with wire net Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be
reflected.
Glass covered with heatresistant film
Radio waves are weakened considerably when
they penetrate windows.
Floor Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron
there is, the more radio waves are reflected.
Partition Steel Radio waves are reflected and rarely penetrate
them.
Plywood, Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Column Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron
there is, the more radio waves tend to be reflected
or diffracted.
Metal Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Cabinet Steel Radio waves are usually reflected or diffracted,
and rarely penetrate them.
Wood Radio waves can penetrate them, but they are
weakened.
