to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your  
handset immediately.  
Safety Instructions  
Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility  
to stay in touch while you move around. However, the safe and  
responsible use of the phone depends entirely on you.  
When using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be  
followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to person,  
and damage to property.  
Product Safety Instructions  
1. Read and understand all instructions.  
General Safety Instructions  
2. Follow all warnings and instructions including those marked on  
the product.  
1. When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the  
safety of others:  
3. Changes or modifications to this product not expressively  
approved by the manufacturer will void the warranty and the  
FCC authorization to operate the equipment. Use only  
manufacturer provided accessories.  
a. Always watch where you are walking and standing.  
b. Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.  
2. In an emergency:  
4. Do not use the telephone near water. Never spill liquid of any  
kind on this product.  
a. If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone  
number. Remember: if you are in an area where your  
phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is  
highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate  
the nearest landline telephone or other communications  
device to call for help.  
5. Unplug the product from the wall telephone jack and power  
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.  
Use damp cloth for cleaning.  
6. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table.  
The product may fall and cause personal injury or damage to  
the product or other property. Place the base station and the  
charger on hard, flat surfaces.  
b. Emergency calls may not automatically provide  
emergency personnel with your name, phone number or  
location. Tell the operator  
7. Power Outage:  
i) Your name and phone number  
In the event of a power outage, your handset charger will not  
recharge the handset battery, and the base station will not  
allow you to make an outgoing call or take an incoming call.  
Both the charger and the base station require electricity for  
operation. You should have a telephone that does not require  
electricity available for use during power outage, or have a  
temporary backup power supply.  
ii) The nature of the emergency  
iii) Whether police, fire, or medical assistance is needed  
iv) The exact location of the emergency, including  
address, cross streets, mileposts or landmarks.  
3. Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible  
with inductively coupled hearing aids.  
8. Slots or openings in the product’s housing are provided for  
ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered.  
Placing the product on a bed, carpeting, or other similar  
surface may block these openings and should be avoided.  
This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or  
heat register, or in a built-in installation unless proper  
ventilation is provided.  
4. Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done  
by the US FDA and others have shown that, although  
interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur  
when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not  
seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.”  
However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with  
pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or  
carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample

9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through  
housing slots/openings as they may damage the product,  
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could  
result in fire, electric shock, or injury.  
Battery Safety Instructions  
1. Use only manufacturer approved Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)  
rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not use other types of  
rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries. The  
batteries could short-circuit, and the battery enclosure may be  
damaged causing a hazardous condition.  
10. This product should be operated only from the type of power  
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or  
local power company.  
2. Follow the charging instruction in this manual and instruction  
labels and markings in the handset and charger compartments.  
11. Do not overload wall power outlets and extension cords as this  
may result in fire or electric shock.  
3. Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not  
dispose the battery in a fire. The cells may explode.  
12. To avoid electric shock or burn, do not disassemble this  
product. Send this product to an authorized service center  
when service or repair work is required. Call Customer  
Service for locations near you. Opening or removing covers  
may expose you to dangerous voltages, electrical currents or  
other risks. Incorrect reassembling of the product may cause  
electric shock when the product is subsequently used.  
4. Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with  
local codes for disposal instructions.  
5. Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short-  
circuit the battery with conductive materials such as rings,  
bracelets, keys, pocketknife, and coins. The battery or  
conductive material may overheat and cause burn or fire.  
13. Avoid using the product during a storm. There may be a risk  
of electric shock from lightning.  
6. Do not expose batteries to rain or water.  
14. Do not place the product where persons can step, trip, or fall  
on the product.  
7. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is  
corrosive and may cause injury to eyes or skin. The  
electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.  
15. Do not place conductive objects over or near the antenna.  
16. Do not use the product to report a gas leak while in the vicinity  
of the leak.  
8. During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is  
not dangerous.  
17. Do not install the base station or the handset charger near  
microwave ovens, radios, TV sets, speakers, or other  
electrical equipment. These appliances may cause  
interference to the product or experience interference from the

6. This telephone system may not be used on coin service  
provided by the telephone company. Connection to party  
lines is subject to state tariffs.  
Regulatory Information  
DuraFon 4X  
FCC ID: NI3-SP922  
IC: 3616A-SP922  
7. This telephone system has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15  
of the FCC Rules and RSS210 of the DOC Rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a general public installation.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is  
subject to the following two conditions:  
1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and  
2) this device must accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Operations of these devices may still encounter interference  
from/to nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radios, computers, or other  
electronic devices. To minimize or prevent such interference,  
the telephone system should not be placed or operated near  
other electronic devices. If interference occurs, moving the  
base station and the handset farther away from them will  
often reduce or eliminate the interference.  
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this  
phone.  
1. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only  
signifies that Industry of Canada technical specifications were  
met.  
8. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not  
occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system  
does cause interference to other electronic devices, which  
can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user  
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
several of the following measures:  
2. This telephone system complies with rules of the FCC Part 68  
and Canadian IC/DOC CS-03. On the bottom of the base  
station is a label that contains, among other information, the  
FCC Registration Number, Ringer Equivalence Number  
(REN) and the Universal Service Order Code, which is RJ-  
11C in the U.S. or CA-11A in Canada. Your telephone  
company may ask you for this information.  
a. Increase the space separation between the handset or  
base station and the device that is experiencing  
interference. We recommend at least 20 feet between the  
system and other electronic devices.  
b. Connect the base station to a power outlet on a circuit  
separate from that used by the device experiencing  
interference.  
c. Consult the dealer or an experienced electronic technician  
for help.  
3. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you  
may connect to your telephone line and still have all devices  
ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not  
all, areas the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to  
one line should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the number  
of devices you may connect to your phone line, you should  
contact you local telephone company for the maximum REN  
in your area.  
4. If your telephone equipment causes problems to the  
telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to  
disconnect your phone system from the line until the problem  
has been corrected. Consult with your local phone company  
for your rights if this happens.  
5. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,  
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the  
proper functioning of your telephone system. Consult with  
your local phone company for your rights if this happens.

with the external device’s built-in Auto-Attendant.  
Getting Started  
5. To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect one end  
of a standard audio cable into a radio or audio player, and plug  
the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH jack on back of the base.  
Base Station Installation  
There are three possible base station setups:  
z
z
z
Base station alone  
Base station plus telephone answering device  
Base station plus standard telephone  
Notes:  
Recommended phone line features from the local phone  
company: Multiple phone lines “hunt group” is a useful feature  
and works well with this phone system. This feature “ties”  
multiple phone lines to a single phone number. When an  
outside caller calls this common phone number, the phone  
company automatically finds a free line. In a hunt group, the  
Call Waiting and the Caller ID with Call Waiting (or called Type  
II Caller ID) features are unnecessary because a 2nd call will  
come in on a separate line, rather than on the same line. For  
a 2nd call coming in on a separate line, the phone system’s  
built-in Call Waiting feature will alert the user and allow the  
user to toggle between 2 lines.  
For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter  
(about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic  
devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answer  
machine, cordless phone, etc.)  
1. Install base station antenna.  
The base station’s antenna port has a reverse-thread  
connector; to install antenna or cable, turn counter-clockwise;  
to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation may damage  
the connector.  
Handset and Charger Installation  
2. Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor  
into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end  
into the “DC In” jack on the back of the base station.  
a. The base adaptor’s DC plug is larger in dimension than the  
charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug will not  
fit into the base’s DC In jack.  
1. Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor into a  
standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other end into the  
“DC In” jack on the back of the Charger.  
2. Install battery pack onto the handset.  
3. Install handset antenna.  
b. The base station’s power supply (DC Adaptor) and  
telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector  
with phone line protection.  
4. Place handset onto the charger front slot.  
3. Plug one end of the phone cord into one of the 4 phone jacks  
marked L1 – L4 and plug the other end into the telephone  
outlet. Since DuraFon 4X has the built-in “line detection”  
feature, it is okay to plug in the phone jacks in random order.  
5. The phone system is now ready to perform basic functions  
such as making and receiving phone calls and intercom calls.  
No base station or handset programming is needed for basic  
operations.  
Connect an external telephone answering device by follow  
instructions that come with the answering device. An  
4.  
exemplary configuration: install the external answering device  
in-between the wall phone jack(s) and the Base Station.  
Either a multiple of single-line answering devices or a multiple-  
line answering device can be used. You may want to disable  
the Base Station’s Auto-Attendant function if that interferes  
6. Charging cradle may be wall mounted, but an “L” bracket  
should be used for support under the cradle to avoid breaking  
mounting slots. An “L” bracket is not included, but can be  
purchased from a local home center.

pre-registered with the base station at the factory.  
You can replace the handset battery after placing the call-in-  
progress on hold.  
2.  
2. If the Handset ID reads “00,” that means it is a new handset or  
the ID has been erased. You need to register the handset with  
the base station. In certain situations, you may want to change  
a handset’s ID. For example, you want to change a particular  
handset from a user to an administrator (ID 10 or 11), or vice  
versa. Or in some rare occasions, you find another handset  
having the same Handset ID.  
3. Battery talk time and standby time vary depending on the  
talk/standby pattern and the operating distance. Returning the

desiring a specific ID to ensure that the ID is not taken by  
another handset.  
2. Repeat registration or de-registration process if unsuccessful.  
Notes:  
1. De-registration by the administrator will disable a handset’s  
ability to use the base station to make or receive phone calls.  
This also frees up the ID for future registration.  
2. Handsets de-registered by the administrator can still perform  
intercom to other handsets.  
Advanced Registration:  
1. Advanced registration functions can be performed by  
administrator handsets (ID 10 and 11) only.

“Please hold, your call is being transferred to the operator.”  
and automatically ring the operator handset.  
Notes:  
1. Because this setting is stored both on the handset and on the  
base station, the handset must be in range with the base to  
change setting.  
2. A warning message will appear on the handset LCD to inform  
the handset that all calls are forwarded.  
3. Calls can be forwarded to another handset or a phone  
number, but not both. Setting a call forwarding address will  
automatically replace the previous setting.  
6. If the destination handset does not answer (busy, power off, or  
out of range) after handset paging time out, the AA prompts  
the caller for another extension number by announcing  
(OGM5): “The extension you’ve entered is busy or not  
available. Please enter another extension number or press 0  
for the operator.”  
4. There is no call forwarding announcement, the caller is not  
aware of the call is being forwarded.  
5. Call forwarding can be only one-hop. That is, for example, if  
Handset 11 forwards calls to Handset 22, but Handset 22 also  
sets calls forwarding to another handset, calls for Handset 11  
are still routed to Handset 22.  
7. If the 2nd try is still not successful, AA will announce (OGM4):  
“Sorry, nobody can answer your call right now. Please try  
again later, goodbye.” then drops the call.  
8. When the DURAFON 4X base station is connected to wired  
PBX extension lines, calls addressed/routed to the AA  
operator can be sent back to the operator of the wired PBX  
system. From an administrator handset, up to 10 keys/digits  
are allowed to program a specific code in order to transfer the  
calls back to the wired PBX. This feature can only be enabled  
and pre-programmed by an administrator handset (Handset ID  
10 or 11). Consult with the wired PBX manual for operation  
instructions and correct key sequence for transfer calls to the  
operator from an extension.  
Auto-Attendant (AA)  
1. When enabled by the administrator, an automated attendant  
would greet a telephone line incoming call.  
2. The caller will be prompted by the greeting message to enter a  
two-digit extension number (Handset ID) or press “0” for  
operator.  
3. The greeting message is user programmable. The Handset  
ID that is designated as the operator is also user  
programmable.  
Notes:  
1. Intercom calls are not routed by Auto-Attendant.  
2. Routing messages OGM2, 3, 4, and 5 are not user  
programmable.  
I.  
Default greeting message (Main OGM): “Please  
enter the extension number or press 0 for the  
operator.”  
3. The timeout is 5 seconds for entering extension number.  
4. The calls can be routed to either a Handset ID or an extension  
number of the wired PBX system. There can be only one  
operator for the AA, which is either an DURAFON 4X handset  
or the wired PBX operator.  
II. Default operator: Handset 10.  
5. Call routing is at most 2 hops. That is, if both the 1st and the  
2nd handsets do not answer, the call will be terminated. Call  
routed to the operator is final and will be terminated if the  
operator does not answer.  
4. AA will ask for another handset ID if the first entry is invalid  
(no registered handset with that ID) with the announcement  
(OGM2): “The extension you entered is invalid, please try  
another extension or press 0 for the operator.”  
39  
40  
Call Waiting  
1. A handset, while talking on one phone line, can be informed of  
the arrival of a new incoming phone call.  
2. For example, suppose that Handset 15 is talking on Line 1.  
When a new call comes in on, say, Line 4, and the caller  
enters extension number “15” when prompted by the AA, or if  
the call is set to be routed to Handset 15 when AA is disabled.  
3. The base station recognizes that Handset 15 is busy. Instead  
of announcing to Line 4 that Handset 15 is busy, the base  
sends an alert to Handset 15.  
4. Upon receiving the alert, the handset sounds an audible  
double beep alert and LCD displays “New call on Line 4”.  
5. Handset 15 can:  
a. Ignore the new call; continue talking to Line 1.  
b. Press FLASH key to switch to Line 4.  
c. Subsequent pressing of FLASH key will toggle between  
Line 1 and Line 4.  
d. Press END key while talking to a line will terminate that  
particular call and automatically switch back to talking to  
the remaining line.  
Notes:  
1. This built-in call waiting is separate from the Call Waiting  
feature available from the local phone company. The phone  
company provided Call Waiting functions on the same phone  
line, while the Call Waiting functions on two separate phone  
lines.  
2. This feature only works for 2 lines, if a 3rd phone call comes for  
the same handset, the call will not be routed to the handset.  
3. It is recommended to order from the local phone company  
Hunt Group feature for all your lines and not subscribe to the  
Call Waiting feature.  
AA Configuration by Administrator  
1. Administrator can change the following AA settings:  
41  
proper programming and “call transfer” feature  
code (available from the user manual of the wired  
PBX system) in order to perform this function  
correctly.  
The following example is the instruction to route a  
call back to the brand N’s PBX system by  
pressing “Flash-7-0-1-8-3-0,” where a Flash key is  
pressed followed by the call transfer code”70”,  
then enter the extension number “1830”  
immediately. Confirm the set up by press “SAVE”  
using the left soft key.  
Notes:  
1. Only administrator can change AA settings.  
2. Because AA setting is stored on the base station, the handset  
must be in range with the base to make changes.  
3. The maximum recording time for the greeting message is 128  
seconds.  
4. Allowing each line’s AA to be turned on or off separately is  
useful if different lines are used for different purposes.  
5. When AA is disabled, the line can be dedicated to either an  
individual Handset ID or a Group ID.  
6. The operator can be any individual handset or a group; it  
doesn’t need to be an administrator handset (Handsets 10 and  
11).  
7. The minimum number of rings before the AA picks up cannot  
be lower than two for the purpose of receiving the Caller ID  
message.  
Line Dedication:  
a. By default all incoming calls will ring all handsets.  
b. To dedicate a handset to a specific line you must use an  
administrative handset (ID 10 or 11).  
c. With the administrative handset, press Menu-9-1-4 for  
Auto Attendant On and OFF. It will first show Line 1  
ON/OFF. If you wish to dedicate line 1 to a specific  
handset you need to select “Off”. This will turn off auto  
43  
Press “4” to set up the flash time from 100ms, 200ms, to  
900 ms (9 levels to choose from.) For example, press “2” if  
the desired flash time is 200ms.  
Notes:  
1. When enter a phone number, the cursor automatically advances to  
the next digit field. Use ¿or À scrolling key to move the cursor  
backward or forward to insert or delete.  
e. Line detect:  
Press “5” to set up the line detect to be either “On” or  
“Off.” Press “1” to choose “On” or press “2” to choose  
“Off.”  
2. When entering a name, the cursor automatically advances to the  
next character field if you press a different key for the next  
character. If you need to enter consecutive characters from the  
same key, you can wait for the cursor to advance or use ¿or À  
scrolling key to move the cursor backward or forward manually.  
Also use ¿or À to move the cursor to insert or delete.  
3. By default, all letters are entered in the upper case. Use the * key to  
toggle between upper and lower cases.  
4. A “Pause” entry represents a 2.8 second delay in dialing the  
following digits, which is useful when calling a sequence of  
segmented numbers (e.g., access code, credit card number, auto-  
attendant entries, etc.) Pause is entered by pressing the * key twice  
(LCD displays P). Entering pause twice (PP) will result in 5.6  
seconds pause in the dialing.  
Notes:  
1. De-registration by the administrator will disable a handset’s  
ability to use the base station to make or receive phone calls.  
This also frees up the ID for future registration.  
2. Handsets de-registered by the administrator can still perform  
intercom to other handsets.

1. You can store up to 30 entries in the phonebook. Each entry  
can contain a phone number or handset ID (up to 28 digits)
