place the telephone in the centre of your apartment/living quarters. Avoid positioning the
telephone in niches, recesses and behind steel doors.

The actual range can be smaller depending on the surrounding conditions as well as
spatial and building construction factors. Within buildings a range of up to 50 m can be
reached.
Installation

Depending on the structural surroundings, radio dead spots may occur even within this
indoor range caused by the digital transmission in the frequency range. Reduced trans-
mission quality results in short interruptions of the transmission. To improve the transmis-
sion quality, move the telephone slightly away from the radio dead spot.
A connection between base station and handset will be broken when the radio range is
exceeded for more than 10 seconds.
In order to avoid signal interference with other electronic devices, a distance of al least
1 meter between the telephone and other equipment is recommended.
Positioning the base station/charging bay
Position the base station (as well as any additional charging bays) in a clean, dry and well
ventilated location. Choose a spot that is stable, level and not subject to vibration.
In order to avoid a mutual interference, do not place the base station/charging bay in
the immediate vicinity of other electronic equipment such as hi-fi systems, office equip-
ment, or microwave ovens. Avoid locations near a heat source, e.g. heating radiators or
near obstacles such as metal doors, thick walls, niches and cupboards.
The base station/charging bay is not equipped with a mains switch. For this reason the
power outlet to which the telephone is connected must be easily accessible.
Note •The base station/charging bay must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•The base station/charging bay must be protected from moisture. Do not
place the telephone in rooms exposed to condensation, corrosive steam or
excessive amounts of dust. Condensation often occurs in basements, gara-
ges, winter gardens or sheds.
•The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and +40 °C.
