Caller ID not working (w/ external antenna)

Possible causes: Grounding of external antenna Suggested remedies: Verify Caller ID works when external antenna is removed and rubber antenna used.

Applications in Depth

Retail/Grocery stores: The PRO system can be used to increase customer satisfaction, employee efficiency, and store safety and security by the ability to take and transfer calls, twoway radio for information, and broadcast important information or requests.

Warehouses: Using a combination of PRO handsets and DuraWalkies, managers can make and take calls while being able to two-way other staff from a single unit. The durability of the PRO and DuraWalkie handsets means they can meet the demands of a warehouse or manufacturing environment.

Auto Dealerships: Service advisors, sales and parts staff and dealership management can greatly reduce cellular telephone bills without sacrificing sales communications or customer service.

Assisted Living: The PRO's range makes it possible for staff to be mobile throughout the facility assisting residence while being available for internal or external calls.
