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 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.
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Choose a central location
Avoid other cordless telephones
Avoid personal computers
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely
low temperatures, dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
