Setting up the Phone
Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
Microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to your phone line, be sure
that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.
• If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
For maximum range:
•Do not hold the
handset where you
might block the signal.
•Metal and reinforced
concrete may affect
cordless telephone
performance.
