General FAQs

No. 1x is not compatible with any other systems.
No. The DuraFon 1X handset can only utilize one connection at a time. Outside of the Telephone service provider's "Call Waiting" the only way to answer a second inbound call is to be free to connect. If you need this capability, we suggest using our multiline systems (DuraFon 4x and PRO)

Troubleshooting FAQs

Range depends upon the environment, but below are some guidelines:
1) 12 floors in building penetration
2) 250,000 sq. ft. in a warehouse or retail store
3) 3,000 acres on a farm or ranch

The range can maximized by:

1) Mounting the terminal base antenna as high as possible and away from obstacles.
2) An external base antenna can be used to provide coverage outside or to get above obstacles.
3) The optimal performance, tall handset antenna will provide about 20% more coverage than the low profile, stubby antenna.
4) If using an external antenna, be sure the antenna is mounted high and away from other antennas and obstacles. Be sure any remaining coaxial cable is un-coiled and laid flat in large 6 - 8 foot loops.
DuraFon 1X battery life:

Talk-time: 6 hours
Stand-by time: 50 hours
Lifetime cycles: 400 (about 1 year)

Battery time is based on distance between the two transmission / reception devices and will vary greatly.
Use of the tall fixed antenna may reduce the amount of power required to make or receive a transmission.
