INTRODUCTION
●
●
●
Acordless telephone offers convenience, ease and
mobility during telephone communications. Its use,
however, is dependent upon the availability of AC power.
Any interruption of electrical power at your location would
prevent your placing or receiving calls. Therefore, a
cordless telephone should not be installedas
the only phone in your home.
“FuII ~wer” means that your telephone isdesigned to operate
at the m~imum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
The range at which you can use the cordless Handset away
from the Base is dependent upon many factors. The
telephone Base is like aradio-transmi~er in that it transmits
telephone line signals via radio waves to the Handset.
Therefore, the location of the Base is important in order to
obtain muimum Handset range for the power allowed.
In some areas, installing the Base on the second floor will
provide greater range than aground floor installation.
Reception can be adversely affected by such things as
aluminum siding, appliances (refrigerators, stove, etc.),
insulation foil backing, heating ducts and other metal
construction which acts to shield radio signals.
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the
iperformance of your cordless telephone.
(QAlways keep the Base antenna raised.
*Above all, keep within the range of the Base.
