Installing the base unit

Select a suitable location for the base unit, either on a desktop or mounted on a

wall (see below). To avoid possible interference with the Maxicom

computer

monitor, position the base unit at least six feet away from the monitor, but within

25 feet (the length of the communication cable) of the Maxicom

computer. Make

sure that you select a location that will allow you to route a 25-feet coaxial cable

from the base unit to the central base antenna.

If you want to mount the base unit on a wall, begin with step 1, below. If you place

the unit on a desktop, skip to step 3.

1. Place the base unit against the wall. With a pencil, mark the position on the

wall where you will drill holes for the four mounting brackets.

2. Drill the holes and mount the base unit on the wall. The specific screws you

will need to mount the base unit will vary according to the type of mounting

surface (i.e., wood, cement, masonry, drywall, etc.).

3. Connect the 120 VAC power cord to the Freedom System base unit. Plug

the cord into a 120 VAC power outlet on the Maxicom

system’s voltage

stabilizer unit.

Note: Be sure the antenna is connected prior to connecting to the power supply.

4. Connect the the communication cable’s female connector to the Maxicom

serial port. If your Maxicom

computer has a 9-pin serial port, you must

purchase a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter from your local computer or electrical

parts supplier.
