Installing the telephone
Installing the base station
Install the base in a dry and dust-free location away from direct sunlight and
make sure that both power and telephone outlets are available nearby. Choose
a location where relative humidity and temperature are inside normal value for
any electric appliances. Install the base in an open location away from other
electronic devices which can create strong interferences (e.g. computer, air
conditioning systems, TV etc.)
To avoid risks for people, or damages to the power and telephone cables of the
base, do not put anything on them and dont place the base where the cables
be walked on.
Place the base on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it
may fall and be damaged. Should you place the base on valuable furniture,
place a proper protection under the base.
The base is designed for indoor use only.
