1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT THE SITE SURVEY TOOL
The Site Survey Tool is used by technicians to plan base station locations for a DECT
telephone system with TDM-DECT or IPBS base stations. With the Site Survey Tool
you can determine the required number and positions of base stations.
By using the Site Survey Tool and one or two base stations, the radio coverage of a
base station can be determined. Two base stations are required when IPBS base
stations are used and if air sync is considered.
A connection with a PBX is not required when using the Site Survey Tool. The Site
Survey Tool is available in two versions. One with battery units and chargers. And one
without battery units and chargers.

2 PREPARATIONS FOR USE
2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY (ONLY FOR VERSION WITH
BATTERY UNITS AND CHARGERS)
Charge the battery units with the supplied chargers for approximately 12 hours.
A fully charged battery offers about 8 hours of operation. When the battery voltage
becomes too low, the site survey base station stops operating,
The battery unit and the site survey base station are connected with the included
battery patch cable.
The battery charger is supplied with a number of interchangeable plug attachments for
different countries. The correct plug attachment for the intended country of use must be
fitted as follows:
1 If necessary, remove the Central European plug attachment.
2 Select the correct plug attachment for the intended country of use.
3 Slide the plug attachment onto the charger. Check that the connection is correct
and secure.
2.2 CONNECTIONS TO EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY (ONLY
FOR VERSION WITHOUT BATTERY UNITS AND
CHARGERS)
Use the DC plug cable and connect the red and black cables to a suitable DC power
source.
2.3 MOUNTING THE SITE SURVEY BASE STATION
The mechanical assembly protects the base station against mechanical shocks and
enables it to be placed in the following ways:
• Hanging, for instance on a door using the carrying sets
• Mounted on a pole with the mounting clip delivered with the base station
• Use the carrying sets fastened to a tripod
NOTE: The battery unit must be placed on a flat surface. Do not hang the battery unit in
the patch cable.

3 THE SITE SURVEY TOOL IN THE HANDSET
The Site Survey Tool in the handset provides two major features; indications of radio
signal quality and base station listing.
Radio signal quality involves both signal strength and frame error rate. This tool may be
used when planning a site's radio coverage and to find radio quality problems.
Base stations lists may include all base stations within range of the phone, sorted in
signal strength order. This feature may be used to find other interfering DECT base
stations.
3.1 ACCESS TO THE MENU
There is a direct access to the Site survey tool menu by entering the code *#77# in idle
mode. See figure 2 and figure 3.2 on page 7.
The Site survey tool menu can also be permanently available in the menu by following
