mtenna,
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 fight
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 inyour handset. Generally they area minor annoyance and should
not be interpreted as a defect in your system.
Move the base station
md handset further

which obstructs radio
frequencies between
the base station and
handset? (For eg:
concrete, tile walls or
metal object, etc)
YES
YES
hy to move the base
stationto another
ocation.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the
operation range. Try several locations inyour home or business and pick the one that
gives you the clearest signal tothe handset. Turning around while holdingthe handset
may help you find the best position.
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate arelay toconnect tha cordless telephone toyour telephone
line. These electronic circuits operate inthe radio frequency spectrum. While several
protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there maybe periods when
