Select a location in your home:
•In the area of the home where you spend most of
your time – for large homes, place the Communicator
near the center of the home to ensure a greater range
•Where there is an electrical outlet that is near a
phone jack and not controlled by a wall switch
(it’s okay if a phone is already plugged into the jack)
•Where there is a at surface to put the
Communicator on – avoid tablecloths and padded
surfaces because they can make it difcult for the
Lifeline Personal Response Associate to hear you
•Away from sources of noise (television, radio,
air conditioner, etc.)
•Away from the refrigerator and microwave
