Where you place the phone affects the reception quality of the handset:
Away from another cordless telephone
Place the base near an AC electrical outlet and near telephone line jac k
Place the base away from metal walls and metal file cabinets
CAUTION: The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone should not be
placed near, or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experi-
enced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interf erence.
Note: While the 2.4GHz frequency is inherently clearer, we suggest that
you do not use this phone within 20 f eet of a working microwave.
The microwave produces frequencies in this r ange which may
cause interference. This interference is normal for all 2.4GHz
phones and should not be considered a product defect.
Away from noise sources such as a
window by a street with heavy traffic
Away from VCRs and TV sets and
other electronic equipment
Away from heat sources, such as
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Away from a microwave oven
Away from excessive
moisture, extremely low
temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration, or
shock
Away from a
personal computer
