Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Telstra F2400 ready for

Location
You need to place your Telstra F2400 base unit close
enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that the
cables will reach.
The strength of the handset signal depends on where you
site the base. Putting it as high as possible can help to
provide the best signal. Make sure it is at least 1 metre
away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference.
