BASE STATION LOCATION
For maximum operating range, extend the
base station antenna to full length. In most
cases, the best location for the base station
is at the highest point in the house. Avoid
places near electrical appliances and metal
structures such as arefrigerator and filing
cabinets that can reduce operating range
and performance.
Caution
The cordless telephone operates at a
frequency that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs; the base station
should not be placed near or on top of aTV
or VCR; and, if interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther away
from the TV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.

CAUTION
During alightning storm, or when the cordless telephone will not be in use for an
extended period, you should disconnect it from the telephone line, unplug it from
the AC outlet and remove batteries.
-17-

Although it is unlikely that the base
station will malfunction, if it does, dis-
connect it from the telephone line until
proper repairs are completed.
The cordless telephone uses radio fre-
quencies for transmission and recep-
tion, and is subject to certain operating
conditions. The following conditions are
normal and could affect the operation of
your system.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most
homes at one time or another. This is
most intense during electrical storms.
Certain kinds of electrical equipment
such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs,
motors, fans, etc., also generate these
noise pulses. Because radio frequency
transmissions are susceptible to these
pulses, on occasion you may hear them
in your handset. Generally they are a
minor annoyance and should not be
interpreted as adefect in your system.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used,
the location of the base station can
affect the operation range. Try several
locations in your home or business and
pick the one that gives you the clearest
signal to the handset. Turning around
while holding the handset may help you
find the best position.
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate arelay to
connect the cordless telephone to your
telephone line. These electronic circuits
operate in the radio frequency spec-
trum. While several protection circuits
are used to prevent unwanted signals,
there may be periods when these un-
wanted signals enter the base station.
You may hear clicks or hear the relay
activate while you are not using the
cordless handset. Ifthis starts occurring
frequently, it can be minimized or elimi-
nated by lowering the height of your
base station antenna, or relocating the
base station. Check for interference be-
fore selecting your final base station
location by plugging it in and monitoring
it for clicks.
Two cordless systems should not be
operated too close to each other be-
cause of interference. This interference
can be reduced by lowering your base
station antenna, thereby reducing its
range.

service. If you experience difficulties, try the suggestions below before taking your
phone in for service.
