TechnicalInformation
Thiscordless telephone usesradiofrequencies toallowmobility.Therearecertain difficulties
inusingradiofrequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following
could affect the operation of your system.
Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most
intenseduringelectrical storms. Certainkindsofelectrical equipment suchaslight dimmers,
fluorescentbulbs,motors,andfans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies
aresusceptibletothese noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET.
Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your
system.
Range
Because radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating
range.Try severallocationsinyourhome orofficeand picktheonethatgives youtheclearest
